Just curious if you have any detailed comments about       > using PostScript for graphics.              Not really. It was actually as brief as I described in the video. Didn't       feel like I could quickly get that one going, so I moved to the next       option. And yes, I immediately fell in love with SVG.              Of course I don't think it's impossible to get things going in PS, the       question is - how much time do I want to put into it? Especially if I       got the functionality of vector graphics covered.              Hans Bezemer              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
