There was also a query a few weeks ago about PostScript previewers. There is a program called pageview that Sun includes with its OPEN LOOK distribution which displays PostScript on screen. Anyone with DWB 3.1 troff can do: troff ... | dpost | pageview to get on-screen documents. There is also a "ditview" program on the X11R4 tape that goes straight from troff: troff -TX75 ... | ditview The advantage of the former is that it permits pictures and displays all fonts; the latter does not.
