The licence in the PostScript manual may be a model. Adobe reserves rights on - the trademark "PostScript" - the language specification However it allows anyone to - write programs in PostScript - write printer drivers that generate PostScript - write software to interpret programs in PostScript - copy Adobe's copyrighted list of commands to the extent necessary to use the PostScript language for the above purposes Best wishes, John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
