My only purpose is to view a postscript file content and as I know I
should run gv, so i installed gv package and then in cygwin shell I type
"/usr/X11R6/bin/gv.exe".

I mean, Cygwin is a marvellous package for emulating Unix on Windows
*where necessary* but in this case I don't think it's necessary.
