Display postscript is an extension that can only be licensed from Adobe. It is "normally" an extension on X-Windows. It consists of a server extension where the postscript engine is added to the X-server. The communication from the client side uses the X-window prototcol. From the source side you can call procedures which sound the same as the procedures in postscript (e.g. moveto, save). There is a utility, pswrap, that converts a ps file into C, this is also used for the interface lib. As far as I know is the IBM RS 6000, DEC windows and NeXT the only implementation at the moment. But you can talk to Adobe to get a licence. But you better be prepared to pay.. For Windows or OS/2, I think DPS is too closely linked to X to run on these tiny window systems. It is really very nice to work with f you can run it on a fast machine. I used it on a RS6000 530 server. Nice! Hope to have helped you a little bit further, Peter Kriens pkr@media01
