The responsible is function 'show' (Line 153).
It forks (Unix.system) a Unix command to display a postscript file.

The postcript viewer used is /usr/bin/open (?)

Just replace /usr/bin/open  by a Postscript viewer,
installed on your machine. The viewer should take the name
of the postscript as its command line argument.
