I'm trying to compile Crispin Goswell's postscript interpreter (from comp.sources.unix) on a Sun 4 running Sun OS3.2 Rev2. I can't find the files wwinfo.h and libww.a which seem to be needed. Can anyone help? Also, can anyone point me to other public domain postscript interpreters which work under sunview. Thanks, Robin Rohlicek BBN Labs, Cambridge, MA.

Has anyone been able to make Goswell's (1987) freeware postscript
interpreter do anything at all on a Sun4 running 4.0? Sample output:
PS>1 1 +
PS>undefined in operator exec
stopped
And that's an improvement from when I tried compiling it under Sys-4-3.2.
At least I get an error message! Still, bombing out on such trivial input
does not make me feel very positive, nor did having to make gratuitous
source and makefile hacks to get it to load. Well, that's freeware for
you. Who am I to complain?
Is Goswell's postscript *supposed* to run on SPARC architecture? Or am
I wasting my time? Is there a newer version than his 1987 one? Do people
know the answers to such questions?

I've used this program under X11r3 with mixed results. It's a little buggy, and I can't get path reversals to work. I was trying to draw an annulus on the screen with the code that works on a LaserWriter. You need to call reversepath so the hole in the middle isn't filled. Unfortunately this doesn't work in freeware PostScript. Still, it is free and it works on the screen. Also, most basic things like lines, arcs, and fonts work. Fonts are slow to draw, though.

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''
