In addition to the other suggestions that Henry provided, I can't resist a plug for my forthcoming book from Addison-Wesley, "Thinking in PostScript". If you're a C programmer who knows little or nothing about PostScript, then you're exactly the target audience. If you're already a pretty good PostScript programmer, you're part of the secondary audience. My hope is also that even Henry and Woody and the seasoned experts will find something of value in there somewhere. It's not exactly a beginner's guide, but it provides some very fundamental concepts like loops, variables, conditionals, and file I/O in pretty good detail. It should be out in a week or two, according to my spies. Sorry about the plug. /Glenn -- Glenn Reid RightBrain Software glenn@heaven.woodside.ca.us PostScript/NeXT developers ..{adobe,next}!heaven!glenn 415-851-1785
