Well, it's "carefully hand-crafted" PostScript code -- so there isn't a
"program", it's just me and an ASCII editor. The file is processed
finally by Adobe's Distiller to generate a PDF document.

JPEG iamges converted to EPS [1], located on the local hard disk drive;
"C:\temp\DSC*.eps" for example. (I'm aware that a backslash is a
"special character" within PostScript and has to be replaced by a
"forward slash" when specifying file names.)

Most probably I will implement the "shaker sort" algorithm.
