Their ad is on the back cover of The PostScript Language Journal VOL. 1, NO.1. I have also seen their ad in MacTutor magazine. The ad shows an interactive window, a status window that shows the stack and variable values, and a preview window. It also mentions on-line operator descriptions, has a debugger menu in the menu bar, and quotes from a 5 mouse MacUser review.

I have not used this product so don't treat this as a recommendation.
