Abstract
This chapter gives a brief introduction to the standard PostScript language, as implemented in NeWS and many thousands of PostScript printers. This introduction is not particularly rigorous, but it should offer enough information for understanding the rest of the book. For a full description, see the PostScript Language Reference Manual[ADOBS5a].
“PostScript is the future of words on paper.”
