- Not that I know of, primarily for the reason that you would need hardware
- of the class you list above your sig to run it. Since PS code goes
- through the interpreter -> RIP -> output device you should be able to
- do this by writing something that stands between the RIP and the output
- device and then quickly plasters it on the display. gs writes to the
- screen straight from the RIP, so what you are seeing is the actual
- processing in action. One of the machines with an optimized display
- PostScript (NeXT, RS/6000) might be a good candidate.
