*sigh* I've been following this particular request for the longest,
and the basic answer is no, not freeware or shareware at this time
to my knowledge. Canvas can reportedly let you view PostScript code,
and TeleTypsetting's T-Script PostScript emulator can also (T-Script
can print PostScript to non-PostScript printers). WordPerfect 2.1's 
graphic editing feature will import PostScript code, but won't display
anything.

To all the PostScript wizards out there, how about a GNU Visual PostScript?
That hooks up to the Mac OS, in Place of QuickDraw? :) Very much
wishful thinking, and I won't demand, because I am not willing 
to devote the time to do so myself. :)
