In learning to use FreeBSD 3.4/4.0 and some other Unix-type systems I've
seen that many documents are distributed in postscript format. If I'm on a
FreeBSD machine, with no X installed, how can I read the contents of these
postscript files?
I attempted to issue the command: gs myfile.ps but received the following
errors:

Any information would be appreciated.
