I read alot about PostScript interpreters/printer/viewers requiring
DSC compliant structure.  Has anyone written a DSC Compliant verification
program?  If so, where can I get a copy?

Thanks in advance.

I was wondering which applications generated the best PostScript documents
and conversely which applications generate awful PostScript?  If we held
a PostScript bake-off who would come in 1st, 2nd, etc. ??

While I'll leave it up to you what "best" means, I tell you what got me 
thinking about this.

I do alot of printing of PostScript documents.  Every so often, someone brings
me a PostScript file that I can't print.  As I started to debug the problem
I read Appendix G in the Red Book that talks about DSC Conformance.  I 
examined a small informal sample of PostScript documents and couldn't find
one that looked "DSC 3.0 Compliant".  When I got a PostScript Viewer, I found
that more often than not it couldn't digest the PostScript documents.

Also, I saw a demonstration where the phrase "Hello World" was created on 
a page by three different PostScript applications and then saved to file.
The three files barely had any commonality or pretense of adhering to a 
standard.

So what makes for the best PostScript??

a) DSC conformance
b) Size
c) Performance
d) Readability
e) Viewing
f) None of the Above

Any opinions??
