Does anyone have sources for a postscript interpreter that
produces a bitmap. I need to be able to preview postscript
on a screen or if necessary on a EPSON compatible.

I would love this just as much as John, and I'm sure a LOT of other people would be interested!! Or pointers to a commercial version would be helpful, too! --Erik Erik Bailey / 7 Oak Knoll \ (USENET courtesy of ihnp4!think!ejb < Arlington, MA 02174 > Thinking Machines Corp., ejb@think.com \ (617)643-0732 / Cambridge, MA)

Buchanan I would also like to know if there is one available, but more than this I would like to know where I can get a hold of this "Red Book" I have been told so much about. Is it published by Adobe? or someone else? Any idea of price. reply by e-mail or followup or whatever, I really need this info. Thanks. Jo. -- ------------- Jo. Stockley.

I don't know how many times I have to keep answering this question. The best book on the Postscript language is the "red book" The complete reference is: Title: Postscript language reference Manual Author: Adobe Systems QA76.73.P67P67 1985 ISBN 0-201-10174-2 Publisher: Addison-Wesley, Reading, MA $22.95 I just had my local bookstore order it for me. It has a companion volume (blue book) tutorial: "Postscript Language Tutorial and Cookbook" also by Adobe SystemsMacille,

There is a postscript interpeter out in the public domain for the Amiga Computer. Mr. Lee from the Univ. of Hawaii is the contact person. I don't have his arpanet address handy reply to me and I'll post. That takes care of half the problem. Now, to get it from the screen to the printer requires a screendump, of which there are many available. You could even capture the screeen to an IFF format graphics file that can then be edited with any of the Amiga art programs, saved back as a IFF file, and then converted back to postscript (full circle eh?) using IFF2PS, another great shareware/pd tool now available. Hope this helps. -- Lawrence H. Brown USENET: ...!uunet!apctrc!cdf!zlhb0a or zlhb0a@cdf.apctrc.uucp (?) Phone: (918-660-4389) 24 hrs, voice.

I suggest buying the blue book first. The red book is rather inscrutable until you have some idea as to the "right" way to do things in PostScript. But do buy them both. kyle jones <kyle@odu.edu> old dominion university, norfolk, va usa

Do you want to port the thing?. I will repeat my question. Does anyone have a portable ps-> bitmap program. John W.
