About three weeks ago I posted an article asking about PostScript on micros.
Well, the response wasn't overwhelming :-), but here are the results:
PostScript is not being used on anything except PCs and Macs!
I would be very happy if someone could refute this since I found it dis-
appointing.
Sincerely,

Just for your info: Scribe (a large scale text processing system that is very well thought of) is capable of both generating postscript output and including postscript documents in Scribe documents. Scribe runs on everything from DECSYSTEM 20s to VAXes to Suns to mainframes. Also Interleaf (a major WYSIWYG publishing package) has just announced Postscript support. QMS, a major maker of laser printers for mainframes, now supports Postscript as their preferred interface. There are lots more examples that I can't pull of the top of my head at the moment. However, from what I know at BBN, Postscript is likely to become THE standard in the publishing world. Carl

My source? QMS (the company I work for is a value-added reseller for their machines). Just thought I'd set the record straight. - Tom Frauenhofer ...!seismo!rochester!ur-tut!tfra BLOOM: You can't kill the actors! They're human beings! BIALYSTOCK: Oh yeah? You ever eat with one?
