Last time I did PostScript previewing, I wasn't very happy with
the supplied psview script so I did some hacking on it. A context
diff between it and the psview that is on the 1.0 beta follows. My
version uses psh instead of say, has legal and portrait flags, and
allows you to specify multiple input files. But the most important
feature as far as previewing goes is that it rereads the input
files on a screen redraw. This way, you can make changes to your
PostScript source(s) and quickly see them (assuming they are
syntactically correct).
