This has to do with the viewer. In gv, you can press 'Reload' after each
recompile; this is also done automatically if you wait for a long time. It's
possible that there is a ps viewer out there, which automatically updates the
view at once when a file changes on disk (just like xdvi does), but I haven't
seen one.
