I a logo programmed in PostScript which I would like to display under X. If there's a simple way to get the output into an X bitmap, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

It only works with X servers supporting the Adobe Display PostScript extension (like the DECwindows X server), though. There are a few other X PostScript viewers floating around, but I haven't tried any of them. As far as I know, none of the public domain graphics file format converters read PostScript.

Under DECWindows on Ultrix machines today there is a PostScript language previewer which will let you preview documents. DEC has announced that shipping in January, the next release of DECWindows under Ultrix will include the Display PostScript system integrated into the X server. When this ships can will be able to image PostScript language files on DECWindows machines in your programs. Of course you can do more...the Display PostScript system allows you to draw using PostScript language commands and fonts to do your drawing in your interactive applications. I don't know about the schedule for availability on VMS systems. David Gelphman Adobe Systems Incorporated
