Better still -- to make it easier for the user to change in case the default
is not available, have a global variable *PS-VIEWER* or whatever
and initialize it to "gv". But if you don't want to bother, it is OK by me
to change the current hard-coded "ghostview" to hard-coded "gv".

OK by me to disable the debugger while compiling.
Since you have cvs write permission, it is OK by me for you to go ahead
and make these changes.
All the best,
