I have a NeXT Demension system an we had a need to display some
postscript images on the video output.  

Next supplies a demo called screenscape which allows you to dump a
640x480 rectangle to ntsc video. 

Easy, I said to my co-workers.  We transfered the files to my machine
and fired up preview to get a look. 

Sadly, there was no way to get preview to render the postscript image to
an arbitrary size. 

Happily, I could use CoXist to serve a ghostview process on another
machine and render into my 640x480 window.  Result, a beautiful
video presentation.

The ghostview program was somewhat flaky and it was a lot slower to
render than the preview program, but ghostview did the job I needed
done.
