White, esq. standard_disclaimer() I seem to remember something about Adobe putting PostScript into the public domain in an effort to retain control of the market due to stiff competition. If this is true (can anybody confirm this?), wouldn't that reduce the price of royalties to, like, zero? I'm not sure if UltraScript even had to get a license for PostScript. It can be argued either way. Mike
