I use the excellent GNU GhostScript package myself. This is a full Level 2
PostScript interpreter and works beautifully for both DOS and Windows
(although the Windows version is much easier to use). I use it regularly to
view and print 200+ PostScript files full of complex diagrams on my HP
DeskJet 550C printer and it works flawlessly.
GhostScript should be available on most major FTP sites. There are two
componets - "gs???win.zip" and "gsview.zip".
