Do you mean psroff shipped with Adobe TranScript 2.1, and pageview
shipped with OpenWindows 2.0?  If so, your problem may be that the
psroff output is missing a %%Pages: line (pageview will only display
conforming documents, and opinions on conforms vary wildly).  If not,
what software are you talking about?

Is it stopping to let you see the page?  If not, that's the normal
behavior when confronted with PostScript that doesn't fit its
definition of "conforming".
