Where can I find a ref to the recursive subdivision.  I noticed it in Crispin
Goswells code, which I got off a local BBS.  It is a PS interpreter written
of Sun's, in 'C' from Rutherford Labs, in England.  I didn't want to plagerize
his code, and would like to find a ref to the algorythm.

Much thanks.  No, I'm not working on a postscript interpreter.  I am, however
working on a spline drawing program similar to A&L, and Illustrator, that
does not require MS windows, and is a much smaller subset of A&L and Illustratir
I just need a simple draw spline, move spline in real time routine.  The code
posted is what I am currently using, and it is SLOW and very non-optimal.
I will grab some of these references and look them over.

As an additional question, who knows about the "consortium" of font vendors
that are reported to be pushing for font control legislation?  Apparently
there was an article in info world, and I'd like a pointer to it.
