I'd suggest you contact the Adobe Developer Support Line.  They have a whole set
of documentation on Display PostScript.  Basically, there's an X Server
extension, and there's a client library which provides callable routines.  The
client library sends data to the server extension for actual execution.  There
are some other tools as well.  There's a pre-processor called pswrap which takes
programs written in a mix of c and PostScript and translates them into straight
c code.  This allows you to write called PostScript procedures, and link them
into your application.

What are you trying to find out?
