The Display PostScript system from Adobe provides all the power of the
PostScript imaging model and font library and still lets you take
advantage of a standard windowing environment like X windows. It is, in
a sense, the best of both worlds:

	* C-language procedural interface to PostScript programming,
	  providing for PostScript-language toolbox implementations
	  with C library calling conventions.

	* Full and complete implementation of the PostScript language
	  plus many extensions for speed and highly interactive use.

	* Client/Server model with many simultaneous contexts handled
	  independently by the server.  Many options for sharing and
	  communication.

	* Full font library compatibility with PostScript printers,
	  so you can compose and actually print with many different fonts.

	* Bug-free softare from Adobe :-)

	* Coming soon to a system software house near you.
