Hi.  You wrote:

	launched from Netscape?

I made this request once.  (It got a not-particularly-related response
from bert, see bug-sipb[6500].)  However, I suggested that Netscape
use gv simply because gv has a spiffier interface than ghostview.  I
didn't know that there are postscript files that gv can view but
ghostview can't.  I think it's a good idea to mention that to the
infoagents people.

Have a nice day,
Sal.
