   Pistscript is sure cool.  It just hit me though that (not for production 
   purposes) postscript could be abused into doing like regular programs.

   Along the same lines, does anyone have any examp-les of postscript code that
   are aimed at doing things other than laying out a page?

Take a look at Sun's NeWS environment.  The majority of our
application is written in PostScript (30K+ lines of code).  Just
think, object oriented PostScript, complete with meta classes. 

Neat, huh?
