AFAIK, Tim Thiessen's venerable ghostview 1.5 is not being actively
worked on. However, his code base seems to have been actively mined
for good ideas in successors.
I've been using "gv" 3.5.8 by Johannes Plass successfully for a number
of years on Solaris, although it does not seem to have been updated
much recently. You can find it at
http://wwwthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/~plass/gv/
The 2 major free desktop systems have been creating PS viewers to wrap
around ghostscript: KDE has kghostview
http://apps.kde.com/na/2/info/id/497
while Gnome has ggv
http://www.gnome.org/applist/view.php3?name=ggv
These all work pretty well on Linux.
If you're stuck on W2K, then you might want to consider GSView (I
haven't used it, so I can't say for certain). However, it looks pretty
good and it appears to be actively maintained.
