Yes that would be nice.  A moderated posting of PS source would
prevent it from becoming yet another binaries/pictures group.

If you want to talk about PS programming, just use
comp.lang.postscript -- nobody is stopping you!!  The fact that people
are often asking questions about how to use PS shouldn't prevent you
from posting programming questions here.

>Still, it would be nice to concentrate directly on programming aspects.

The group is what you make of it.  If you start posting more
programming aspects here, then they will be discussed here.  No need
to create yet another group, when the existing group is just fine.

>comp.graphics.postscript

Again, there is no need to create another group when
comp.lang.postscript serves the purpose just fine.
