If you don't have gunzip on your machine,
you can find gunzip
executables for various systems
here;
the msdos executable is also here.
Some users report that gsview32 is useful for viewing the ps.gz files.
Further links about gzip and gunzip:
gzip.org,
gzip.html.
Some users of windows machines find that
if they download a ps.gz file by http then it does
not unzip and display, but if they download it by ftp,
it works fine.
To convert an http URL to an ftp URL,
please use
the following pair as
an example:
ftp://www.inference.org.uk/pub/www/mng10/GP/gpros.ps.gz
http://www.inference.org.uk/mng10/GP/gpros.ps.gz

My main work in HCI has been on Dasher.
Dasher - an efficient writing system for brain-computer interfaces? (pdf), S. A. Wills and David J. C. MacKay. IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering 14 (2), 244-246 (2006). [see also the brain dasher page]
David Ward's Dasher site and experimental results
Existing devices for communicating information to computers are
bulky, slow to use, or unreliable. Dasher is a new interface
incorporating language modelling and driven by continuous
two-dimensional gestures, e.g. a mouse, touchscreen, or
eye-tracker. Tests have shown that this device can be used to enter
text at around 25 words per minute, compared with typical ten-finger
keyboard typing of 40 - 60 words per minute.
Although the
interface is slower than a conventional keyboard, it is small and
simple, and could be used on personal data assistants and by
handicapped computer users.
