I am puzzled by what psview can do. Many applications generate PostScript files. But how much psview offers to view these files? (for that matter, psh). In the case of LaTex, why we need special viewer for its dvi output even though we have dvi2ps to output a PS file? What is the limit for psview? Acknowledgable answers wanted.

Psview doesn't work for most things. However, IRIX 4.0 is SUPPOSE to have a working psview, so maybe then we can preview PostScript files. Until then if you want to preview TeX/LaTeX files you will have to get the special previewer from the info-iris archives. Brent L.

GNU's GhostScript (gs) works on the SGIs. I find it to be an excellent previewer. It only works under X-windows and it seems to even handle color ps files/scripts. > > Brent L.
