No one involved with Display Postscript said Bud Tribble. I don't think he was  
the DPS man - that was done primarily by Leo Horowitz (spelling is surely  
wrong) and a few others. Bud Tribble worked with DPS, but I don't think he's  
the man SUN would go to to implement and integrate DPS with Solaris.
