I understand that the NeXT uses Display PostScript. If that's so, are there any tools available for the NeXT that would allow me to pull in PostScript or Encapsulated PostScript files, edit them, and write out a new PS or EPS file? What I have in mind is this: 1) A number of different groups would use EPS files for graphics in their documents. 2) Many of these graphics might contain text (call-outs, labels, etc.). 3) One group might want 90% of a particular graphic created by another. 4) Another group might want to translate a publication and the EPS graphics text into another language (eg., English --> German). 5) The generation of the original PS or EPS could be on a variety of machines using different software. (Some might be hand-written PS) Is this PostScript -> Display PostScript -> edit -> PostScript process possible today on a NeXT? If so, I'd appreciate any details on what tools are needed.
