I usually print to a file, then use ImageMagick to convert to png or gif
and view it that way.

printps -o cave.ps cave.3d
convert cave.ps cave.png

I wasn't aware there was a problem previewing files :)

The process for learning Unix and widders is pretty similar. You pound your
head against a wall for a time. The difference is that, over time, the unix
experience becomes much less painful, but with widders, the pain increases.
