I posted some time back a suggestion to use NeWS, having seen it in action and
also having been very impressed with it. I am by no means an expert on either
PostScript or NeWS, or Display PS for that matter, and I made the curious error
of assuming NeWS used DP.

I'd like to thank those who set me straight on the matter. NeWS does indeed use
regular PostScript, with the sole exception (that I can recall) being that 
"showpage" is apparently a null function. I have sent identical code to psh and
to a LaserWriter and gotten roughly identical output.

Oh, yeah, and the font list is different ...
