In May 1989 this appear in comp.lang.postscript: From: opus@athena.mit.edu (Mr. P. Opus) Newsgroups: comp.lang.postscript Subject: Re: Goswell's Postscript Interpreter Date: 11 May 89 09:07:35 GMT Sender: daemon@bloom-beacon.MIT.EDU Reply-To: opus@athena.mit.edu (Mr. P. Opus) Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lines: 15 A note to all those people wondering about a PostScript interpreter for X11: There exists one, written by Crispin Goswell. We have a version of this interpreter here at athena, and have spent MANY hours optimizing it. It is currently approximately 20-200 times faster than the version 1.4 with patches that is in general release. We are trying to iron out the last of the nasty bugs, and will post the results soon (pending approval of Mr. Goswell). This program was optimized by trained professionals using the proper profiling equipment. Please do not attempt this in your own home if you value your sanity. -David Jedlinsky opus@athena.mit.edu Project Athena ``Watchmaker'' So did anything appear from that posting? It would be nice to make Mr. Goswell's postscript interpreter go faster (or have colors and greek letters). I tried to contact the involved parts by e-mail but haven't got a reply yet. Hopefully someone involved with Project Athena will be able to shed some light on this. Thanks for any help. Roque Oliveira oliveria@caen.engin.umich.edu
