   I don't think 'showpage' is the problem.  My experience with pageview
   is that it works only on (a) one-page files, or (b) files which
   conform to the Adobe Document Structuring conventions.  It uses the
   structuring comments to select a single page to be imaged; without the
   comments, it never finds page boundaries so it overlays all the pages.

This has been my experience over the past few days as well.  Thanks to
all who pointed out that (1) NeWS requires PostScript meeting the
conventions, and (2) the Rokicki dvips program, available for
anonymous ftp from neon.stanford.edu, outputs such PostScript.
