Gee, thought I'd answered this one--
pageview from Sun is a PostScript previewer, thus:
troff ... | dpost | pageview
On the X11R4 tape is a program called ditview we may
include in future DWB releases, thus:
troff -TX75 ... | ditview
Internally (in AT&T) we have a PostScript interpreter for
the blit-type terminals (5620, 630 and 730) that a lot of
people use.
