UltraScript(tm) is a trademark of QMS/IMAGEN. PostScript(r) is a registered
trademark of Adobe Systems, Inc. 

I know that IMAGEN (really Laser Connection which is another one of QMS's
subsidiaries) is selling UltraScript PC and UltraScript ST that run
on AT compatibles and Atari processors (respectively). Atari is selling a
version of UltraScript ST that outputs to their SLM 804 Laser Printer.
Someone from Atari or Adobe would have to comment on any (if at all) business
ventures between those two companies.
