NeFS is an attempt at a standard for throwing arbitrary programs at distant machines for execution. The format of the programs should be compilable and reasonably parallelizable, and PostScript is neither. RISC was the last easy trick for building fast machines, and multi-processing is the current one. An interpreted programming language might have been right for the 1980-vintage CP/M world, but not now. Lance p.s. I didn't call it PostSh*t, but I sure was tempted.
