Apparently they do; the PS previewer that comes with DecStation 3100s (dxpsview) contains an Adobe-licensed PS interpreter. Actually that's not true, it's the DecStation's X server which has Adobe PS built in, but dxpsview's startup banner says it's Adobe licensed. It's very fast, too. One annoying (though probably intentional) thing abount this arrangement is that I can't rlogin to one of our decstations and run dxpsview with the display happening on the Sun on my desk, because the PS is built in to the X server, I have to actually go and sit in front of the thing. Bummer. -- Jamie
