Thanks for the explanations and the links to 
books on Postscript.
To really understand all this, I'll need a
Postscript interpreter. Right?

Is ghostscript the only free alternative to
run Postscript code in Windows?

Don Lancaster uses postscript for almost
everything.
How did you used this language? For Graphics?
Electronics? Scientific Computing?

I need to study this conversion.
There is more in Postscript than reads the eye!!!

I do not think that i'll become a Postscript

Thanks again Mark and Dar for your guiding help!!!
