I was hoping someone could answer some of these simple (I hope) questions:

1) is EPS defined somewhere? I'd like my program to be able to produce it, and
	I'd like to know what I need to do.

2) is it possible to set the line width in such a way that it isn't affected
	by the matrix?
	I am trying to print something as it looks on the screen, so I'd like
	my lines to be a constant width. (on an SGI Iris, the transformation
	matrix does nothing to the line width).

3) does anyone have postscript code which draws cardinal cubic splines? 
	It would be neat to do right in postscript, but even
	some C or C++ code which takes vectors of numbers (control points) and
	produces a vector of control points of a postscript bezier.
	(I guess the bezier can only approximate the cardinal because of
	 continuity conditions)

Thanks for the help,

	Mike
