Sorry.  I often pick up things from various Web-sites and people and
don't write down the references.  I'm not too sure if the entire team
left Sun and went to next (at least one stayed) but NeWS *was* based on
PostScript, and *was* around before NeXT.  Circumstantial :(

Thanks to Jim Cheetham for clearing that one up.  GhostScript does not
*actually* interpret PostScript, it interprets a language called
"GostScript", which has two commands (IIRC) different from PostScript. 
That way they do not get sued by Adobe :)
