Welcome to the xpost discussion group. There are no preconceived restrictions to the content of this group, but it should largely pertain to the xpost computer program, an interpreter for the PostScript Language published by Adobe Systems. It is cross-platform (Windows, Unix and friends including Solaris). It has a unit-tested modular framework which is factored to have no circular dependencies. xpost is written in C89/90 for compatibility with Visual C. xpost's graphics functionality is written in postscript, with output devices implemented in C. For performance, some postscript graphics functions are overrided by C functions.

The current code may be browsed at https://github.com/luser-dr00g/xpost

Details of the design and algorithms used are described in https://github.com/luser-dr00g/xpost/blob/master/doc/NEWINTERNALS

For deeper background. see the message 'c.l.ps ps interpreter design topics', below.

Current issues, including features that will comprise the first release: https://github.com/luser-dr00g/xpost/issues

Current Standard Conformance: nearly all of level 1 with level 2 extensions (expanding stacks and dictionaries, global and local memory, garbage collection),, DPS extensions (fork and join contexts), and NeWS extensions (magic dictionaries, getenv/putenv).

Motto: "... As described in the PLRM."
