1. _I_n_t_r_o_d_u_c_t_i_o_n
PostScriptr is an interpretive programming language with
graphics capabilities for printing or displaying pages of
text, two-dimensional graphical shapes, and sampled images.
Display PostScript/X (DPS/X) is a PostScript interpreter
that renders on the screen. DPS/X is based on Level 2
PostScript language; Silicon Graphics' version of DPS/X is
an extension of its X Window System. The first time you run
an application that uses DPS/X, the extension is loaded
dynamically into the X server. DPS/X applications are X
applications as well and are run in much the same way.

After you install the online documentation for a product
(the _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s subsystem), you can view the release notes on
your screen.
If you have a graphics system, select ``Release Notes'' from
the Help submenu of the Toolchest. This displays the
_g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) graphical browser for the online release notes.
Refer to the _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) man page for information on
options to this command.
If you do not have a graphics system, you can use the
_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s command. Refer to the _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) man page for
accessing the online release notes.
