In the past six months, I remember reading a magazine article that described a public domain implementation of a PostScript interpreter that came from the University of Tokyo. It was a subset, not a full implementation. Chances are, this was reported in a PC developer or C magazine. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Does anyone have a pointer to any other PD PostScript interpreters?

Right, I've heard of the other PS clones in development, but where did you hear about this Japanese one? I've heard that they've got it running on MS-DOS, and that it was public domain, and that they were lacking in font support, which is a very difficult part of the port. If you've got any reference to this Japanese one, please tell me, I'd like to track it down for myself.
