[comp.sys.sgi] dps extensions

ajp2o@crocus.medicine.rochester.edu (Anthony J. Persechini) (06/26/91)

I am trying to build or beg an Xserver for my SGI 4D20G that
has DPS extensions. Is the code needed to build a server with
these extensions "freely distributable"? If so where can I
get it? If someone already has such a server and is willing
and able to mail it to me I would be most  appreciative.

I have already posted this request to comp.sys.sgi once but, receiving
no reply, thought I would try again.

You should probably try to contact Adobe Systems.  I think most or all of the
current XDPS extensions came from them.  However, I doubt you'll find anything
from Adobe is "freely distributable."

You might also look into GhostScript from GNU.  This would give you some
DPS-like capabilities.
