I would like to preview TeX output that includes postscript plots on
my MSDOS PC and/or X-windows system.  I had heard that some people had
been successful using GNU Ghostscript to do this.  I tried it and go
an error message.  I tried using dvialw and dvi2ps.  Not having any
real experience with postscript or ghostscript, I am at a loss for
what to try.  I know the version of ghostcript I have is good since
postscript plots are drawn correctly.  Has anyone successfully
previewed DVI output using ghostscript?  If so what do I need to do
and/or what DVI translator wil work?
