In the early 90s, I began my programming career by developing reporting solutions for a Construction Support System used in train and tram construction and assembly. This system ran on a VAX/VMS platform. My role involved creating custom reports which could be printed on the DEC laser printers. I programmed these solutions using FORTRAN and hand-written PostScript code, which I found enjoyable. To learn PostScript, I even invested in a set of PostScript books, including the well-known Red Book:

About 1990 or so I learned PostScript to do development in NeWS using the PostScript books that shipped with Sun OpenWindows - the blue book is a really well written tutorial.
