Understood. Would this sort of feature be possible with a plugin system,
someone else who did know about it could write that? Just curious.

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
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 :-(

I recall some one (Dutch too) who started a Postscript project. It was about
converting the LDraw format directly to PS.

I asked this way back: http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dev/?n=3452 (december 10
1999 :-)
I got no reply...

But then, Guido Heunen replied to another thread:
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/mlcad/?n=176 (February 23 2000)
He said:"I would like to try to write a DAT->postcript converter if no one
else is doing it."

Perhaps one can blow life into this again?

Jaco
