Hi John,

PostScript code?
The character arrays filled with postscript code are generated by the
PGPLOT library. The display routine that renders the postscript on the
screen runs as part of a separate viewer program. This viewer communicates
with the program generating the postscript data via sockets. The only bit
that I need really worry about is the viewer.
My perusal of the existing code for the OpenStep viewer program suggests
that the interprocess communication stuff will work fine with Mac OS X (it
uses standard UNIX stream sockets rather than anything fancy, so while it
isn't terribly elegant I think it's quite portable). So my main problem is
really only getting the streams of raw postscript sent to the display
program to display on the screen.
Bob
