This might be a tall order -- but would there be any way for LPub to create

Encapsulated Post Script?  Dunno anytin' bout it.

Hi Tim and Kevin,

Since I'm a desktop publisher IRL and for longer I can remember I do know
something about Postscript and Postscript programming. It is a fairly easy
language to learn and understand. Think of it as POV but in 2D. I have a
book called the Postscript Tutorial and Cookbook which is a step by step
guide into programming (Level 1) Postscript. I also know that there is a lot
of info on the net on the subject, but don't have any URLs by hand. Can't
help with programming a plug-in though, don't know any programming
languagues :-(
