This is probably not the best place to ask this but....

Does someone know of a Postscript Preview app for a
Mac which is similar to that on the NeXT (Yes, I have
a NeXT but also have a Mac II!) ?

I have OzTeX for the Mac and use its dvi previewer
but would also like to be able to preview and print
Postscript files from the Mac.  I have a da and an
app which will print Postscript files from the Mac
but not preview them!

There is a commercial app called "Freedom of Press" for the Mac.
I have used it to drive Montage FR1 film recorder and produced
color slides from NeXT generated PostScript.  It has a preview mode
and can also render for other printers.

But as a previewer, it's slow compared with what you are used to
on the NeXT.
