Systems designed by Butler Lampson Interpress (1980-82): With Bob Sproull, I designed this standard for describing a document to be electronically printed. It includes a programming language with careful control of side-effects, so that portions of several Interpress documents can be easily assembled into another document. It is implemented in the Xerox computer printer product line, and was a major influence on Adobe's Postscript language [Interpress Electronic Printing Standard, version 3.0, XNSS 048601, Xerox Corporation, Jan. 1986].
