Many thanks for the fast response!

The consensus opinion is I need Display Postscript for my X-Terminals. [Sound
of Dan whacking himself upside the head]. One person mentioned I may be
able to use ghostview as the viewer. The clues on how to config GV may
be hidden somewhere on http://www.ncd.com/

I shall pursue that option. Send me private e-mail if you wish a followup
on that adventure.

Many thanks (so far) to:
