The most common (and fastest) PostScript interpreter found writing 
`in stripes' (you do not want to buffer a 2500dpi image) to hi-res 
output devices such as the Ultre Setter or ECRM Pelbox is the Hyphen 
PostScript interpreter.  The interpreter is found in many brands of
high resolution typesetters.

Send me e-mail if you're interested in Hyphen's PostScript interpreter 
running under Unix on Sun or Apollo.
