- x-gzip is a hook for the GNU "gzip" program, which should be
-freely available for NT at prep.ai.mit.edu in the /pub/gnu directory.
-Here's how our "Global Mailcap" entry for Netscape looks like (see the
-"Helper Applications" menu under "preferences":

+To view PostScript files under Win32 you will need a PostScript
+viewer such as GSview. You can find GSview and Ghostscript (which is
+needed to run GSview) at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/.
+
+It seems that both Netscape and Internet Explorer mangles the names
+of downloaded files to reflect their content type, so *.ps.gz files
+are saved as *_ps.ps instead. Fortunately, GSview as of version 2.2
+supports gzip compressed postscript. When set up as a viewer for
+Postscript files, files with mangled names can be viewed by GSview
+without any preprocessing.
