   Hi netters.

   Is there any way to use the Display PostScript engine in the
   Decstation to do off-screen imaging, or is that hardcoded in as part
   of the license agreement from Adobe?  I.e., would it be possible to
   print a PostScript file on a non-Postscript printer by using the
   interpreter that comes on the Decstation?

Note:  I don't mean ghostscript...  it isn't "good" enough, although I
think it's a great idea.  There are some files that make it through
real Adobe PostScript and that don't make it thru GhostScript.
