It would have looked better in Doubly. Actually, I think the client just sent DPS to the server, which rendered it to the screen. I had hoped that Gosling would someday release the NeWS sources, but I imagine it's all tied up with Adobe IP. Would be neat if someone cloned NeWS using Ghostscript as the engine, but Apple has already done Quartz with PDF, so I suppose PostScript is passe'.
