Adobe has definitely announced that they will offer Postscript for
X. After the X announcement in January (by the major workstation
vendors).

Steve MacDonald, vice president of marketing for Adobe Systems: 
    "We plan to announce a new version of our Postscript
     software...that provides a good graphics foundation for
     operation with the new X Window System as well as other
     windowing environments".
                     (quoted in EE Times, Monday, January 19, 1987)
