If you're using TeX, you might want to look at xtex, a TeX
previewer available for anonymous ftp (foobar.colorado.edu,
128.138.204.31) rather than using dvi2ps and pageview.
Xtex runs under OpenWindows. Because it builds OW versions of
your fonts, xtex looks much better than the pageview/dvi2ps
alternative.

Features include buttons to jump to a figure or equation from
references in the text. OpenWindows or Display PostScript users
can also preview documents with included PostScript figures.
Facilities are provided to go back and re-edit the TeX document
or send a copy to the printer when you're happy with it.

If you're using troff or something, sorry, ignore this.
