[comp.windows.x] x postscript

In the "Frequently Asked Questions about X with Answers [long monthly
posting]" (message <1990Apr27.204217.5788@ICS.COM>), you'll find:

>  21) Where can I get a PostScript previewer for X?

In general, people, before posting to comp.windows.x, please do read
the "Frequently Asked Questions" posting.

Perhaps the maintainers of the mailing lists/exploders should email a
copy of the questions file when adding people to a mailing list or
local redistribution.  (Or just a terse "read the FAQ when it comes
around before posting" welcome message) It might be a little more work,
but it might save us from some of the oft-repeated questions.  

You can ftp a copy of the Frequently Asked Questions from
cs.toronto.edu as doc/x.questions.  (Perhaps XUG should maintain a
copy on expo as well)

Thanks,
	Mark.

Digital workstations come with a PostScript previewer (and these days
with a PostScript extension to X as well).  These use Adobe Display PostScript.

There is also at least one PostScript previewer floating around in source form;
as I use Digital workstations, I've never gone out to try to see how
well works.
Maybe someone else can comment from first hand knowledge on them.
