Without your contributions, this news group would have probably wound up as yet another religious battleground, and PostScript would be yet another page description language. I'm glad Adobe has kept in touch with the user community through comp.lang.postscript, and I hope it continues to do so. Thanks so much for all the wonderful discussions, and for sharing your insight into the language with us. I have especially enjoyed discussing programming tricks and techniques, thinking about your advice on the philosophy of output file formats, and reading all the neat code that's been posted! -Don
