 MR> Question 1: Are there computers other than NeXT (DPS), SGI
 MR> (NeWS), and Sun (NeWS) that create graphics for the computer
 MR> screens in PostScript - real, planned, or mythical?

Kludge used to display Postscript output on PC's under DOS/Windows:
Using QMS GoScript, you can create a PCX file and then from there you
are home free.  Even WordPerfect will display a PCX file on the screen.

I don't know of any other DOS or Windows based products that will do the
trick.  I did hear of a product at SD '89 that was a windows program for
learning postscript that seemed to work in their demo, but I never saw
it marketed.
