It might be of interest to note that GhostScript 1.4 is very (?) happy with the output from James Clark's dvitops program, and makes a perfectly respectable LaTeX previewer. I applied patches which Rich Murphey supplied for dvips, so they may been necessary for dvitops as well. sebastian

We have been using version 1.3 (available from the Simtel archives) for several months to preview graphs rendered in postscript before inclusion in LaTeX (PCTeX). It would be nice to be able to view them *after* including them, too, to check on the placement without wasting paper. Thanks for any help.

GhostScript 1.3 is also available from prep.ai.mit.edu. The 1.4
version are in beta test, which means you should be prepared to invest
some time porting them to your platform and feeding patches back to
Peter Deutsch. The more help he gets, the sooner 1.4 will be ready
for general consumption. I'm hoping that previewing LaTeX with
included ESP figures will be enough to encourage people to do just
that. Rich
