- But Ghostview doesn't. Ghostscript does interpret Postscript but I
- doubt it does anything else like magnification, clipping etc. My guess
- would be that Ghostview modifies a copy of the source file for proper
- magnification and runs it through Ghostscript. Plus the bells and
- whistles for panning. Ghostscript can only interpret PS and it doesn't
- have the facilities for magnification or display control. Please
- correct me if I am wrong.
