FLYING MONKEY SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES COLORINSPECTOR: PAINLESS COLOR
CONVERSION FOR NEXTSTEP


WEST CHESTER, Ohio, December 5, 1994 -- Flying Monkey Software
announces ColorInspector, a Text Service application for NEXTSTEP
which provides translation of color coordinates between NeXT and
PostScript.

Earlier this year, when we were putting together Color Suite 1, our
set of color applications for NEXTSTEP, our old pal Jon Hendry asked
for a color coordinate converter; he'd been doing a bunch of
PostScript generation and was tired of all the division. Lately, we've
run into the same problem, and so picked up the work we'd started at
the end of the summer. ColorInspector is the result.

Basically it's a color well and four text fields. You drag a color in,
it updates the NeXT and PostScript RGB and HSB values in the fields.
You change a value in a field and the color well and other fields are
updated. Dragging the color out of the color well and cutting and
pasting from the text fields is all there, of course. Simple and easy.

And when you stick it in your Apps directory, it becomes a Service.
Select some color coordinates and click in the ColorInspector entries
under the Services menu, and you have in-place color coordinate
conversion. There's also an API for those share-the-code type
developers.

  ColorInspector, painless color conversion  $7.50
