From the SCOUG CD:

"GSView version 4.3 is a graphical shareware document viewer that uses
Ghostscript as its' display engine. GSVIew 4.3 should be used with AFPL
Ghostscript 7.04. Ghostscript allows PostScript (TM) files to be viewed
and allows printing of these files on printers which do not have
PostScript capablity! pdf files may be displayed on your monitor and
printed as well! You will also need the EMX Run Time library 0.9 d
installed. Helge von Hagen has released a pentium optimized Ghostscript
7.04 with built-in Support for the following HP Deskjet Printers: HP
DeskJet 670, 690, 855, 870, 1100, 890, 1600, 880. See Tony Butka's SCOUG
Ink articles July 2001 "Printing and Scanning on the OS/2 Platform" and
August 2001 "Making GhostView Work with Netscape"."

Also see: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ and the links associated
with this site.

I believe that the latest Ghostscript for OS/2 is 7.05 but I have not
tested this nor have I seen reports on Ghostscript 7.05. Unfortunately,
IIRC no future development is planned by Russell Lang for Ghostview for
OS/2. I am otherwise a happy registered user of Ghostview.
