In 1985, Apple introduced the Laserwriter, a smart printer whose primary distinction (beside price) was the embedded hardware interpreter of a never before heard of page description language called PostScript, which was (and still is) developed and licensed by Adobe Systems, Inc. We begin with a description of the context and form of the language, then ease into a practical explication of the concepts of the PostScript graphics and computational models (using examples that you are actually expected to type in and send to a printer or emulator), finishing up with a mild discussion of appropriate hardware and software (including books). This article is a tutorial introduction to PostScript programming in the Macintosh environment. Note: Source code files accompanying article are located on MacTech CD-ROM or source code disks.
