Thanks to all who responded to my request for information.  While I asked
for PostScript viewers for OS/2 and for Unix with X, I got responses for
numerous environments.

To summarize the responses I got:

    Digital's implementation of X, DECWindows, comes with a PostScript viewer
    called "dxpsview".

    The standard release of the X Window System includes a program
    called "xps".  The "X Frequently Asked Questions" list says that this
    program has known problems with fonts.

    A PostScript viewer called "ralpage" is available by anonymous ftp from
    system titan.rice.edu.

    The Free Software Foundation produces Ghostscript; a version may be
    on system prep.ai.mit.edu or on uunet.  FSF's telephone number
    is +1 617 8763296 (Eastern United States).

    Sun Microsystems' program "pageview" displays PostScript with X11/NeWS.

    Harlequin produces a PostScript viewer called Scriptworks.  Send mail
    to scriptworks-request@harlqn.co.uk or phone +44 223 872522 (UK).

    Pipeline Associates produces a PostScript program that runs on Unix.
    Their phone number is +1 201 7317860 (Eastern United States).

    Display PostScript software is available for IBM's system RS 6000.  It
    can display its output in an X window (and in color if available).

I'll repeat, this is a summary of the information I received.  I have
not called, mailed or examined all the sources on this list.
