Some PostScript files
PostScript is a nice programming language. Here is some files I've

A small program, written in perl
typesets text with selected font and size emulating old mechanical

You can find the program and an example: the
program listing produced with following
parameters:
txttype Courier 10 0.1 0.05 0.01 0.01 txttype > txttype.ps
This little program (1,143 bytes)
calculates Mandelbrot set with PostScript engine. It's a good
benchmark for raw processing speed of printer CPU.
On old Apple LaserWriter it took about 24 hours to print one page;
ghostscript on Sun Ultra 10 spent less than 5 minutes.
This version is negative of one above;
saves quite much ink.
