Howdy, and forgive me if this is a FAQ (which I've been watching for; can anybody point me to one to ftp?), or worse yet, an unrealistic request: Has anyone got a brief overview of Postscript handy? Yes, I'm looking for a good book for a more complete study (any recommendations?), and NO, I don't expect to be able to gain a full working knowledge from self study, trial and error, and the kindness of strangers. But I've gleened some aspects of it just by looking at LOTS of example Postscript, and I'm *almost* brave enough to dive in and try some... Just seems to me that Postscript is logical and consistent enough that you could express a basic survival summary of it in a page or two... If not, don't flame me, just explain in your least condensending tone why Postscript is just too involved or dangerous to summarize... Would I, could I, attempt to summarize Pascal or C in such a way? Sure! (Maybe in this case Forth would be a better example, eh?) Thanks in advance and take care... ______________________________________________________________________________ Andy Moore "You keep your dream, and I'll keep the money!" andy@ice.stx.com - Ren Hoek, "The Ren and Stimpy Show"
