No problem, the software is already in place on your DEC workstation.
The X server has the display PostScript extension (unlike many other
vendors X servers). Either use the CDA viewer or link the PS file into
something like DECwrite, which displays PS figures as you edit the
document (*real* WYSIWYG!)

I use such a set-up every day on my VAXstation 4000 VLC.
