     Subject: (was: Postscript as a REAL programming language.)

  ::>purposes) postscript could be abused into doing like regular programs.

  IMO, it's not as farfetched as it might initially seem.  Plenty of
  code has been written in a language called FORTH, and when I looked
  at PostScript and FORTH side-by-side, I was amazed at the
  similarity!  Obviously, PS as implemented is mre for page layout
  than general programming, but it should still be possible to do some
  non-page-layout stuff just like you would in FORTH.

  Just a random thought...
