The result was Display PostScript, or DPS. DPS added basic functionality to improve performance by changing many string lookups into 32 bit integers, adding support for direct output with every command, and adding functions to allow the GUI to inspect the diagram. Additionally, a set of &amp;quot;bindings&amp;quot; was provided to allow PS code to be called directly from the C programming language. NeXT used these bindings in their NeXTStep system to provide an object oriented graphics system. Although DPS was written in conjunction with NeXT, Adobe sold it commercially and it was a common feature of most Unix workstations in the 1990s.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;PostScript#History&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;PostScript#History&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>nickpeterson</author><text>Kind of random, but you made me think of it.

Unfortunately the eInk display is the hard part there - most eInk parts have very poor documentation.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Integrating a VT220 into my life</title><url>https://drewdevault.com/2016/03/22/Integrating-a-VT220-into-my-life.html</url></story>
