PostScript - Overview
- In an effort to make a platform and device independent language for describing a graphic page layout, Adobe invented PostScript. PostScript is an interpreted and stack based language with much of the functionality of a normal language. (Functions, loops, etc)
- One interesting aspect of PostScript is that it can be used for more than printing. Other things that people have done are:
- Fractal Generation, Mathematical Equation Solving, etc.
- Some people, quite obviously, have too much free time.
