In summary, there are a few different postscript viewers available, including Ghostview, GV, and GSview. Windows XP is not listed as a supported OS for Ghostview, but it can still run on an XP computer. However, there is also a postscript viewer called "Rampant Logic" that may be a good option for Windows XP users.

"ghostview", "gv", and "gsview" are different postscript viewers:

You want GSview, available at the link given by mgb_phys. You need Ghostscript to use GSview, as stated on that page.

http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/get853.htm
points to the GSview and the Ghostscript files you need for Windows.

(By the way, GSview can also read .pdf files.)
