Are you sure you don't mean RLE (run-length-encoding): I think PostScript
is
a graphical format, whereas RLE still contains the text as text, it just
adds
in formatting codes into the stream of characters, so in theory should not
be
too difficult to read and write with any program...

I'm no expert, but I think that's what he was after...
