Adobe's documentation of programming Display PostScript on NeXTSTEP.
Display PostScript, or DPS, is a version of the PostScript page description language adapted by Adobe Systems so that a computer screen accurately displays what is intended to be printed in WYSIWYG fashion.
History[]
Steve Jobs of NeXT was an early adopter of Display PostScript technology.[1] However, Mac OS X (the successor to NeXTSTEP) replaced Display PostScript with a new PDF-based imaging model called Quartz to avoid paying licensing fees to Adobe.[2][3]
