|Thanks for the info.  As to the above sentence, I'll have to disagree
|with you.  Splines and transformation matrixes are the heart and soul
|of Postscript. They are what *REALLY* set ps apart.  A complete understanding
|of them leads to not only better postscript code, but bettter applications
|that use postscript.

Well, there was this language called Interpress that also had
transformation matrices and many of the features that went into PS.
I think the founders of Adobe can tell you all about it and the people
at Xerox are sorry that they didn't pay more attention when the story
was first told. :-) :-(
