Comment Re:How about the encryption? (Score -1) 46

The only tiny thing wrong with the highly touted eexec encption was that any patient 7 th grader could sight read it. All you had to do was insert an extra character in the eeexec file. Read your error messages and then rinse and repeat Sort of like a safe that tells you to "try three clicks to the left"

Comment Re:PostScript needs double precision floating poin (Score -1) 46

Few people realize that PostScript accuraccy ha been purposely crippled and limited to a reporting 6 decimal places! With the reasoning that not doing this would only make font files longer. It turns out that nearly two entire additional decimal points can be trivially picked up. With this 8 Decimal Place PostScript Real Numeric Reporting Utility :https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tinaja.com%2Fglib%2Fps8dprp1.pdf Its not nearly 64 bit, but an additional nearly two decimal points can sometimes be useful. As in https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tinaja.com%2Fmscalc4... where Javascript had to be substituted.
