I want to be able to display the results of postscript (ps not eps)
I've
written in a view/window of some sort. Is there a way to do this
directly
with the cocoa obj-c api's?
Not out of the box on Mac OS X 10.2.

Exactly as easy or difficult as it is to write a PostScript interpreter.
Mac OS X and Cocoa do not, as of Mac OS X 10.2, include a built-in
PostScript interpreter that can be used to rasterize EPS files or
execute PostScript code.
On <

version of Preview in Panther supports PostScript and EPS, but it's
unclear on the page whether it only applies to Preview.
