  But Ghostview doesn't. Ghostscript does interpret Postscript but I
doubt it does anything else like magnification, clipping etc. My guess 
would be that Ghostview modifies a copy of the source file for proper
magnification and runs it through Ghostscript. Plus the bells and
whistles for panning. Ghostscript can only interpret PS and it doesn't
have the facilities for magnification or display control.  Please
correct me if I am wrong.
