I've a modest familiarity with PS, having written utilities to move multiple instances of type 1 fonts into the header and to extract pages from multi-page files. The sample of "clear text encoding" at <http://www.olu.info.waseda.ac.jp/office/kago/spdl/example1.html> looks like PS wrapped in SGML. I found the spec at <http://www2.echo.lu/oii/en/docstand.html#SPDL> but it was SGML docs, so reading it was more pain than I chose to bear. David Perrell
