The NeXT allows for the inclusion of postscript inside of C code. Also, there  
is a mechanism called PSwraps which makes a postscript routine into a  
c-callable function. Theoretically, an app could be written which consists of a  
large amount of PS wrapped and called as C functions. Also, any postscript  
program is essentially executable from the Workspace if you add .eps to the  
end.

There is a small postscript program around which grabs the pointer, turns it  
into a spinning circle, and bounces it around the screen going "bonk" when it  
hits the sides of the screen.
