I've been following the discussion about Level 2 PostScript here, but
I don't remember seeing any mention of the relationship between Level
2 and Display PostScript.  Does anyone have any firm information
about whether all of the features of Display PostScript are included
in Level 2?  Some of the stuff in Display PostScript, like the new
memory manager, the hit detection operators, view clipping, and the
multi-process facilities, seems quite specific to display
environments; other stuff, like the new encoding formats, the support
for rectangles, the user path machinery, and the new halftoning
mechanisms, seems to be environment-independent.

Any non-confidential but well informed reponses would be greatly
appreciated.  (Yes, I know the answers will be in the new Red Book,
but Real Soon Now doesn't seem to have arrived yet. :-))  Thanks -
