- Ghostview (an X11 user interface to ghostscript) understands all versions
- of the DSC. In fact it will properly parse many non-conformities as well.
- The only known deficiency is that although it does recognize the
- "%%PageOrder: Special" comment, it does not give the document the special
- treatment requested. I plan to remedy this in the next release.

- Ghostview-1.4.1 can be obtained via anonymous ftp from
