# Syntax:  gv [-h] [postscript_file [...]]
#
# Purpose: Shows one or more postscript files using gv, kghostview, gsview,
#          or ghostview.
#          If no input argument is given, the most recently changed .ps
#          or .eps file in the current directory is shown.
#          The -h flag shows the help info for this command.
#
# See also: gvl
#
# Note: You may have to include a line like
#       alias gv=~/your_bin_dir/gv
#       in your login files (e.g., .bashrc) in order to be able to use
#       this command.
