.EPS as programming language???

I am seeking a solid reference guide for the code behind .EPS files. Essentially, they are a set of instructions as any other code... problem is I cannot find any reference that explains in detail the elements of the ..eps language.

No real place to post this in here, so software dev seemed the best.

Are you talking about Encapsulated PostScript? PostScript is indeed a programming language (and a really neat one, at that )

http://partners.adobe.com/public/de...ps/psrefman.pdf - reference manual. (That version appears to be outdated, but it may suit your needs anyway. Adobe probably has the new one on their site, but I don't know where. You can also buy it from Amazon.) If you plan to do serious programming in PostScript, you'll definitely need the manual.

EPS is PS with certain restrictions. PS, generally speaking, defines an entire document page by page. EPS defines a smaller picture that can easily be manipulated and included inside other documents.
