I really lament that PDF and the victory of Motif meant the end of PostScript for most purposes. Sadly I was a bit too young for NeWS, and there seems no emulation available anywhere. Ghostscript itself isn't exactly tooled for actual programming... Back in the 90s the most popular train route web site in Germany used to send you a PS file for printing on Linux (they did something more native for Windows). And that was basically a serious of quite easy to understand line drawing and text positioning instructions. And I think it was jwz who had some cassette cover sheets where you put in the song and artist data by editing the PostScript file itself.
