Bill Lee writes > Has anybody been able to answer this question in general? Yes, it can be done. The limit becomes the amount of RAM in the PostScript machine (practically). The routine becomes a prolog which reads the PostScript to generate the actual image into strings. It must be careful not to split up tokens at the ends of strings. You can then follow the rest of the BlueBook example, translating around and executing all the strings in order. It won't be any speed daemon, but you'd be suprised at how complex an image you can just arbitrarily stick the prolog in front of. -- Scott Byer NeXTMail: byer@mv.us.adobe.com Adobe Systems Incorporated These are *my* opinions, and 1585 Charleston Road, P.O.
