If you want to be a REAL PostScript Wizard, You also MUST get Inside PostScript $37.50 Frank Merrit Braswell Published by System, of Merrit, Inc 2551 Old Dobbin Dr. East Mobile, AL 36695 (205) 660-1240 and by Peachpit Press, Inc 1085 Keith Ave Berkeley, CA 94708 (415) 527-8555 It describes the real workings of the pre-defined procedures like =, ==, typeprint, stack, pstack, findfont, typecheck, etc. Also documented is the server loop, idle loop, ==dict, interactive mode, error handling, printer communication, the test page, etc. In many cases the "sources" of the procedures are also included and documented. That is, when available, the author examined the pre-defined procedures in the engine and documented what he found. As Mr. Braswell says: "Also be aware of the fact that the information in this book may not be 100% accurate since I developed _Inside PostScript_ apart from any Adobe internal documentation. Only Adobe can speak with complete authority on the subjetcs presented within." Braswell worked with Adobe to evaluate the alpha and beta software for several QMS printers. As he said in the book, the output of serverdict {} forall pstack intrigued him, and prompted him to write the book. Highly Recommended !!! -- Bruce G.
