\section*{About this Document}
This is meant to be a simple introduction to programming in the 
PostScript page description language from Adobe.  This document is not 
meant to be a comprehensive reference manual (although it does contain 
an index of some of PostScript's standard operators and a list of 
various errors).  There are far better reference books, if this is 
what you need.  Instead, this is meant as an easily accessible 
tutorial.  It was written with the assumption that you have some 
experience programming and are familiar with concepts like arrays and 
variables.
 
I created this document because I have noticed that many people 
on the Internet have been asking for some online document to get them 
started.  I decided that this was a good opportunity.

This version of the guide was typeset in \LaTeX2e\ after being 
converted from the original {\sc HTML} version by html2latex.  
The resulting \LaTeX\ code was editted by hand, but many errors may 
have been introduced in the process.  I have created this document 
because there has been considerable demand for a printed version of 
the web version. I hope you like it. Please note that the original web 
version can be found at:
