A few questions: 1. I understand that there is a new "colorimage" operator, similar to the "image" operator, but that supports full color. How do I get more information on how to use this operator? 2. Is this operator (colorimage) and setrgbcolor the "standard" ways of dealing with color now, or is there something else (other operators, etc.) that I need to know about? 3. Is there also a "colorimagemask" operator? 4. When will additional AFM files (for ALL the LaserWriter Plus fonts) be available in the IBM font DL? I need something I can download and unarchive easily – either plain text or ARC files; the Mac stuff (SIT files or whatever) won't do. 5. Are PPD files going to be made available here for downloading? Or are they already here somewhere (I couldn't find any). I am in the process of upgrading a commercial Amiga software product to support color PostScript printers like the ColorScript 100. Thanks in advance for any help!
