- Yes, it can be done. The limit becomes the amount of RAM in the
- PostScript machine (practically). The routine becomes a prolog
- which reads the PostScript to generate the actual image into strings.
- It must be careful not to split up tokens at the ends of strings.
- You can then follow the rest of the BlueBook example, translating
- around and executing all the strings in order.
-
- It won't be any speed daemon, but you'd be suprised at how complex
- an image you can just arbitrarily stick the prolog in front of.
