See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge PostScript is a language for output devices. It does for output devices what Unix does for processors, viz., it allows a common software interface despite differences in hardware platform. PostScript controllers exist for paper printers from 4 pages per minute up to 92 ppm, from 300 dots per inch to over 6000 dpi typesetter, and for film recorders, color printers and X Window terminals. Without PostScript, every text formatter has to understand the idiosyncrasies of every vendor's hardware. See comp.lang.PostScript for more. PostScript is a registered trademark of Adobe Corporation.
