I'm quite interested in any comments anyone might have concerning Adobe Systems, Inc., or their new proposed raster imaging high-order programming language (stream language for output device interpretation) called Postscript(tm). It would appear to be not only a great idea, but perhaps an idea whose time has come; standards in raster imaging are certainly sorely needed. Briefly, Postscript drivers would be written (and in some cases have been written, for instance, by Apple for the Mac) to convert internal raster formats into Postscript source code for outputting to raster imaging devices in which are located interpreters (a good example of an actual implementation is the new Apple LaserWriter for the Mac) with their own MPUs and integral Postscript interpreter along with, ummm, 1.5 megs of ROM and .5 megs of RAM (or have I got it reversed?). Is anyone else using this/interested in this/know anything more about this/interested in conversing about this? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --Dwight Ernest KA2CNN \ Usenet:...vax135!timeinc!dwight Time Inc.

If I have a file that I want to run through ptroff, but I would like to rotate it 90 degrees before printing, is there any easy way to do this?
