Hi,

   The subject says it all: Do I need a workstation to preview ps?  I have
heard of people talking of 'sixel graphics' etc.  I beleive that sixel
graphics is supported by most dec vt330 terminals.  What about regis graphics?
If there is a postscript previewer available that will work with a vt3xx
terminal then I would appreciate it if someone would let me know about this.
   I know the question of a tektronix previewer has come up several times.  I
guess there are none.  But hasn't any one wrote a simple driver that justs
draws lines etc.  Forget about erasing points or worrying about fonts.  I
would be happy with just a line drawer!

Thanks,
--
John
