In addition to Giacomelli's mail I inform you you can find 
text-processing and viewing software in the anonymous site:

ftp.sunet.se

in subdirectory /pub/text-processing/postscript

As you may observe fromt the discussions on the list, this is a BIG 
problem.
In 99% of the cases, you may preview your file with some packages
(ghostview for instance), but editing is something you should usually 
do
before creating a ps file
