                        About the Journal

The PostScript Language Journal is a publication devoted  to  the
needs  of  the  PostScript  industry.   It  contains  articles by
authors active in the PostScript world, including  developers  at
Adobe Systems, Inc.
     Every issue of the Journal will bring you a wealth of infor-
mation  about  PostScript:  the hardware that understands it, the
software that produces it, the people involved with it,  and  the
language  itself.   We'll  have  product  reviews,  font samples,
interviews, an ongoing PostScript tutorial, PostScript hints  and
tricks,  a  column  on the cover art, which will be different for
each issue of the Journal, and articles  on  advanced  topics  in
PostScript  programming,  written by PostScript software develop-
ers.
     From time to time we'll also print articles on subjects  not
strictly  related  to  PostScript  but of general interest to our
readers in the printing and publishing industry.
     The PostScript Language Journal is  published  quarterly  by
Pipeline Associates, Inc.
