- First of all, GoScript does include a driver to display
- PostScript-files on a VGA screen. I can't say I'm thrilled about
- it, but it does. Secondly I've heard about a PostSript-2
- standard that includes (better) coloring and rules for display
- on a VDU. Some new video adapters are said to feature this
- standard, oddly all of them featuring expensiveness.. Forth
- seems to me _the_ language to relatively easily develop a driver
- for this new standard. But I'm not even close to an expert ;).
-
- Btw, do you know what's wrong with HCC Alkmaar? And finally, the
- sysop of Hotline BBS in Amsterdam, 020-6893869 is arranging to
- join the RIME-Net Forth conference.
