There is a troff previewer called "tsee" that is on the US SUN User Group
donated software tape. It was written on release 1.1 and doesnt work if
recompiled to run on 2.0 or 3.0, I can't redistribute so you will have
to contact the US UG (Dave Hartwell hartwell@lll-crg is the contact
at Livermore Labs in the US).

tsee uses squashed fonts that are readable, the results are not quite
the same as a laserwriter but they are very useful. I think it was set up
to work with a versatec.

Release 4.0 of SUN Unix should be out this autumn with NeWS support,
this includes the ability to preview postscript, no-one is likely to
write a previewer for 3.2 with NeWS imminent so unless there is a postscript
previewer already out there you will probably have to wait for 4.0...
