<OT> Another postscript question

Any postscript guru's here?

I created a postscript document with enscript, then ran ps2epsi against
it.  When I try to open the eps file with gv, the bounding box is right
but the text in the file just flashes on the screen for a fraction of
a second.

The end of the eps file has the following:
%%Trailer
cleartomark
countdictstack exch sub { end } repeat
restore
%%EOF                

When I remove the cleartomark command, the text remains on the screen, but I
get a stack error.

I know enuf to understand that this is supposed to leave the stack in
its original state, but, why does it erase the text it has already drawn?

Any insight appreciated,
Joel
