About Display Post Script

ITEM: RTA000086219



I would like to ask about Display Post Script programming.                      
My customer tries to display the Display Post Script on drawing area            
or X window.                                                                    
Actually, he wants to do the same as /usr/lpp/DPS/bin/copyright                 
executable file on AIX V3.2.5.                                                  
But we couldn't find the source file, *.c and *.psw for the                     
copyright exec.                                                                 
Could you tell me how to program to display                                     
the Display Post Script on drawing area or X window?                            
The very point we'd like to know is the part of displaying the Post             
Script file to drawing area.                                                    
Does it need any special functions or etc?                                      
                                                                                
                                                                                
ANSWER                                                                         
The PostScript EXEC you are talking                                             
about is not a true PostScript file, it is simply an X client.                  
It does not use the Post Script extensions at all. If you want                  
to program an X client, please see the source code in                           
/usr/lpp/X11/Xamples for some sample programs. There are also                   
several O'Reilly & Associates X programming manuals that might                  
be of some assistance. If you are truly looking for Display Post                
Script coding assistance, the only samples I could find was in                  
/usr/lpp/DPS/examples. I have been unable to find any books that                
show how to program for or with Display PostScript.                             
                                                                                
   Thakns a lot for your help.                                                  
  I was really sorry I made you confused.                                       
  I'll try to program by refernecing sample programs.                           
  Anyway, I appriciate your kindness.                                          
  Thanks.
