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.
