I just noticed that GSView2 has been updated to version 4.9.
Works ok with my just installed Ghostscript to v8.63.

GSview is a graphical interface for Ghostscript under MS-Windows or OS/2. 
Ghostscript is an interpreter for the PostScript page description language 
used by laser printers. For documents following the Adobe PostScript 
Document Structuring Conventions, GSview allows selected pages to be viewed 
or printed. GSview requires Ghostscript 7.04-9.19.

Features include:

     * Display and print PostScript and PDF files.
     * View pages in arbitrary order (Next, Previous, Goto).
     * Page size and Orientation are automatically selected from DSC 
comments or can be selected using the menu.
     * Print selected pages using Ghostscript.
     * Convert pages to bitmap, PDF or PostScript.
     * Selectable display resolution, depth, alpha.
     * Single button zoom.
     * Extract selected pages to another file.
     * Copy display bitmap to clipboard.
     * Save clipboard bitmap as BMP file.
     * Add bitmap or user preview to EPS file (Interchange, TIFF or Windows 
Metafile)
     * Graphically select and show bounding box for EPS file.
     * Extract bitmap preview or PostScript from DOS EPS file.
     * Extract text or search for text.
     * Can read gzip and bzip2 compressed PostScript and PDF files.
     * On-line help.
     * Win32, OS/2 and Linux/X11 executables. Older versions support Win16.
     * Can be run directly off a CD-ROM or USB memory stick (Portable 
Application).
     * English, Catalan, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Russian, 
Slovak, Spanish and Swedish languages.
     * Per user initialisation files for Windows.
     * Includes setup program.
     * Free (Aladdin Free Public Licence).
     * Works with Ghostscript 7.04 - 9.99 (GSview checks the Ghostscript 
version number). There are older versions of GSview that will work with 
Ghostscript 4.03 - 7.00.

Changes in version 4.9:

     * Minor bug fixes.
     * Use latest version of zlib and bzip2 libraries.
     * Can be run as a portable application from USB flash memory.

GSview 4.9 should be used with Ghostscript 8.63 or later.  See the 8.63 
release announcement
