Hmmm ... my two cents, but since I suffer from severe O.F. syndrome these days, 
I could be way off base.

Never the less, some rumblings on some things I have found out over the past few 
days.

Postscript was Adobe's answer to HP's PCL/PJL language, of which I am happily
writing nice print filters using PCL that just flat work.

PDF is suppose to be a direct descendant of Postscript (could be wrong here).

PCL is to Postscript what terminal control is to HTML. Me, I much prefer
the escape sequence type of things since it impacts my my O.F. syndrome less.

Just my rumblings ....
