You install Ghostscript first, then install >GSView. It needs to do a bunch of stuff to establish fonts, etc. I didn't do it correctly. I wimpped out and picked up the self-installing files mentioned by Dan Anderson at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/aladdin/get601.html it does a great job of making the whole ball of wax work. > >The file is definitely gzipped.

I figured out why it wasn't working, I was using the command line gzip, I had to rename the gzipped file and put a "z" on the end of it's filename.
