Topic: C2PS -- a C to Postscript Compiler. Last year at this session a
number of developers asked for a language like C, in addition to
PostScript, as a way to write NeWS applications. C2PS compiles C into
PostScript. While the user must understand the PostScript model, and the
NeWS environment, the code itself can be written in C.
Speaker: Maurice Balick, Architec
Topic: OS/2 NeWS. NeWS has been ported to OS/2! Use your PC's as NeWS
