Thanks to all who responded to my request for information. While I asked
for PostScript viewers for OS/2 and for Unix with X, I got responses for
numerous environments.
To summarize the responses I got:
Digital's implementation of X, DECWindows, comes with a PostScript viewer
called "dxpsview".
The standard release of the X Window System includes a program
called "xps". The "X Frequently Asked Questions" list says that this
program has known problems with fonts.
A PostScript viewer called "ralpage" is available by anonymous ftp from
system titan.rice.edu.
The Free Software Foundation produces Ghostscript; a version may be
on system prep.ai.mit.edu or on uunet. FSF's telephone number
is +1 617 8763296 (Eastern United States).
Sun Microsystems' program "pageview" displays PostScript with X11/NeWS.
Harlequin produces a PostScript viewer called Scriptworks. Send mail
to scriptworks-request@harlqn.co.uk or phone +44 223 872522 (UK).
Pipeline Associates produces a PostScript program that runs on Unix.
Their phone number is +1 201 7317860 (Eastern United States).
Display PostScript software is available for IBM's system RS 6000. It
can display its output in an X window (and in color if available).
I'll repeat, this is a summary of the information I received. I have
not called, mailed or examined all the sources on this list.
