=Our new book is called ``PostScript by Example''.  It is a
=tutorial book on PostScript and covers PostScript Level Two
=patterns, forms, composite fonts, rect operators, and color models.
=
=Look for ``PostScript by Example'', by Mary Campione and
=Henry McGilton. Published by Addison  Wesley.
=648 pages.  Over 500 examples. Over 750 pictures.
=
=A disk is also available separately.  The disk
=contains 13,000 lines of PostScript code from the book.

Or, of course, one could buy that little-known book called the _PostScript_
_Tutorial_and_Cookbook_ (a.k.a. the blue book) from Adobe.

understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below).  So
unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my
organization responsible for it.  If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to
hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
