[juneau-lug] interesting .pdf note

Here's an interesting one. PostScript is actually more than just a page
description language, describing fonts and spacing, etc. You can program
with it. (There is a PostScript web server for example - I'll look it up
if anyone is interested.)

There's a downside though.  Many people think of PostScript documents
and .pdf files as "inert" (sorry, I couldn't think of a better word).
However most .pdf readers are full fledged PostScript interpreters.

Here's the link:
