jbril, a bit of a history lesson:

Mac OS X is based on OpenStep which was based on NeXTstep for which Display PostScript was written (mostly by NeXT employees).

It doesn't have it now because Adobe refused to license it as promised and together w/ Microsoft whined about re-writing all their apps. So we got Carbon. Curious why that's Yellow Box? It's 'cause when Bill Gates was asked if he'd develop for NeXTstep his answer was, ``Develop for it? I'll piss on it.''

(who loathes the compromises Carbon apps have forced on the NeXT UI)
