Advantages of Display PostScript. As early as 1985, when the first LaserWriter printers hit the market, Adobe startet developing a PostScript extension for computer displays. This extension was jointly developed at Adobe and NeXT and first implemented in the NEXTSTEP operating system. Several years later, when the X Window System (X11) blossomed into an accepted standard for graphical Unix workstations, Adobe integrated Display PostScript into X11 with the help of the Unix manufacturer DEC.
