Yes because it is a way that RISC OS could correctly support lots of 
printers - granted all PostScript variants.

Yes ideally ROSL should do the work or Castle. Discussions with ROSL 
indicate they won't do the work - however they are happy for a third 
party to do it.

I think my last word on this project, is ensure that the thing also 
works on the Castle machine. It should be possible to play off Castle 
against ROSL to get the best source code
