...hope this is the right place to ask this question.... I am looking for a WYSIWYG Postscript editor for the SGI Iris. I want to be able to add some simple text to the postscript output from a graphics package without having to go in an manually write the code (ooh, painfull!).

Better yet - HOW ABOUT A SUMMARY...of postscript editing packages for Unix, DOS/Windows, and others. I am interested in the state of "editable" postscript - what is being done, what products are being developed, and what products are available ??? In other words, I am extremely interested in products that allow editing of *source* postscript files. Thanks...Regards |(8> --- Robert rdthomps@vela.acs.oakland.edu

I am familiar with the fig and xfig programs for the Sun. These produce a special file which can be converted to PostScript by a program called fig2dev. Unfortunately fig is not really working with PostScript, so arbitrary rotation, scaling etc can not be done. Text is a fixed size and is NOT the same on the printer as on the screen. A real pain. I must say that the interface for fig is really nice. The xfig version no longer has scaling, which makes it impossible to do fine adjustments to the figure. I can't believe that they dropped this feature. So I too would like to know about a good PostScript editor. The ones I've seen bomb. There goes the drawing! This discouraged me from ever using them again! One of the bombers is part of GoodNeWS. Maybe those folks have fixed it by now.

"Those folks" now offer something called HyperNeWS, the successor to GoodNeWS. It is a hypertext system that uses the same card/stack model that HyperCard (among others) does. All graphics are PostScript-based and created with the WYSIWYG graphics editor called HyperDraw. You can mix raster images and EPS files with your PS graphics, too. Best of all, HyperNeWS is free.
