There are several PostScrip clones in the works, and one of them is being
designed for extreme speed, especially with bitmaps.  It is being put
together by the fellow that designed PC-Separator (aka Kaleidescope) which
outputs bitmaps to a Lino-100 for color separations (these are full-page
16 Mbyte bitmaps!).  His PostScript clone may run as much as 20 times
faster with bitmaps and halftones than Adobe's PostScript on the Atlas
(68020 based system) due to a new bitslice RIP that has been developed
recently.  I'll keep you posted on the progress of his project.
