Hi

I have just installed postscr.tgz from slackware 4 and now I would
like to test it for previewing PS file. I would like to read a whole
book about nroff troff.
I am new to GS but from what I have herd it should be possible to view
PS files with GS whit out GV. GV should just be some kind of front end
to GS. Again from what I understood the default output of GS should be
the screen so;
gs filename.ps
should do it.
so I  startx, open an xterm, change to the dir where the file is, do:
ps upf-book.ps
All I get is a messages in xterm window telling my about some of the
configuring in GS (thats what it looked like) Now maybe the book was
to big or something. In the ghost script dir there is some examples I
try one of this do:
ps alphabet.ps
Exactly the same thing happens again.
Do you  have an idea about what is wrong and how I can preview
postscript files in my vga16 xwindow.
