Any ASCII editor gets the job done. Then send the file to
your PostScript interpreter or printer.
I designed a business card once using PostScript (just to
prove that I could). The job took me two nights to complete!
What I got out of the exercise was a great business card I
didn't need, and an appreciation for the applications that
generate the code. They can do in seconds what takes me
hours.
