I found the following buried treasure whilst trying to figure out why the
Motif docs can't be handled by ghostscript.
People who write things like this need to be shot. There is no other remedy.
The idiot that did this wants to prove he's so goddamn smart... Like we
*need* obfuscated postscript?
For those who don't grok postscript, the prolog is a series of declarations,
which generally form a set of procedures that let the writing program think
of the text to be printed at a somewhat higher level. The entire first part
of this utter abortion is just to let you say "scl" instead of "scale", etc.
There is NO GOOD REASON for it.
I consider myself to be competent in PS. Not a wizard, but competent. But I
haven't a clue why this does not work under GS, and am not looking forward
to the editing session it will take to clarify this.
You are now returned to the GPL flamefest, already in progress.
