I have installed "gv" in the sipb locker.  It is a really neat
Xwindows interface to viewing PostScript files.  It is based on
"ghostscript", but much better.

gv assumes you have the Gnu PostScript interpreter "gs" in your path.
I recommend you do "add gnu" (as well as "add sipb") before running
gv.

(Unfortunately, there is a program called "gv" in the gnu locker.  It
lists your files, much as you might expect the "ls" command to do.
You may have to run /mit/sipb/bin/gv to run the gv postscript
viewer.)

Enjoy.
-Sal.
