My questions: what exactly is Display PostScript? Is it a program? A concept?
How does it fit with DECwindows? Where is it available?

What is "run-time graphics support"?

I have a Decstation5000 and have dxpsview (Dec's PostScript previewer), but
I haven't heard of "run-time" system for Decwindows.

Please excuse me if the questions sound naive...

Thank you in advance,
