Well, I have OpenWindows 3.0, no interest in building and installing
GhostScript, and postscript files I generate without any references
to Sun's screen-only licensed fonts.  Pageview and psh are more than
happy to render my files without complaint.  However, ps2bit prints
out the following and quits:

Error: /typecheck

Ostack: /Encoding null null
Estack:

So how do I get xnews (or psh) to rasterize my postscript files?  Or is my
application also a violation of my OpenWindows license?
