If you want to be a REAL PostScript Wizard, You also MUST get

	Inside PostScript

It describes the real workings of the pre-defined procedures
like =, ==, typeprint, stack, pstack, findfont, typecheck, etc.
Also documented is the server loop, idle loop, ==dict, interactive mode,
error handling, printer communication, the test page, etc.

In many cases the "sources" of the procedures are also included and documented.
That is, when available, the author examined the pre-defined procedures
in the engine and documented what he found.


As Mr. Braswell says:

	"Also be aware of the fact that the information in this book
may not be 100% accurate since I developed _Inside PostScript_ apart
from any Adobe internal documentation. Only Adobe can speak with
complete authority on the subjetcs presented within."

Braswell worked with Adobe to evaluate the alpha and beta software for
several QMS printers.

As he said in the book, the output of
	serverdict {} forall pstack
intrigued him, and prompted him to write the book.

		Highly Recommended !!!
