Then this is not a PostScript previewer. This is a QuickDraw Redrawer.
I have a PostScript Previewer based on the one written by goswell
many years ago. It works, but barely. It will take some time to get

I DO NOT have time to work on it, so someone might wish to take the
source and improve if possible.
