cps - The Complete PostScript System
cps is a utility for encoding supplemental information as part of PostScript illustrations.
It is intended to serve as an archival and exchange format for the sciences. The cpsencode
utility allow user to add documentation, data sets, computer programs, and other material to the
end of a PostScript file by encoding the information using PostScript comments. The augmented
PostScript file is referred to as a Complete PostScript (CPS) file. The cpsdecode utility
extracts the embedded files from a compliant PostScript file. For a discussion of CPS, see
the EOS Electronic Supplement.
cps is developed and maintained by Paul Wessel.
