3. The DPS server side
In order to use DPS clients, you need to install a DPS server side,
which can be either a server extension (a ``DPS/X extension''), or a
separate process (referred to, variously, either as a ``DPS/NX agent''
or, rather confusingly, as ``Client-Side DPS'' (CSDPS).
3.1. Display Ghostscript
Display Ghostscript (note the capitalisation), or DGS, is a
client-side implementation of DPS based on the Ghostscript
PostScript interpreter. DGS is still in beta at the time of writing;
it does, however, provide a very usable implementation of DPS,
although it still has some problems with the semantics of multiple DPS
contexts.
DGS is available from the GNUstep download area.
3.2. The DPS extension
The DPS extension is a much younger project aiming at producing an
efficient server-side implementation of DPS. The extension is
currently in a state best described as alpha; current versions are
known to crash the X server under some circumstances.
The DPS extension is available from the DPS extension site.
