- Dave Love correctly pointed out that dvilaser/ps
- *can* handle colors. You simply say
-
- \special{ps:: <red level> <green level> <blue level> setrgbcolor}
-
- and you get the specified color from that point
- onward in the printed text.
-
- My lone remaining problem is how to change the
- background color. I suspect this isn't that hard
- either, but my knowledge of PostScript is very
- limited. I would appreciate any suggestions.
-
- By the way, I'm afraid my first message left the
- false impression that I'm using a Mac. I'm not--
- I'm using a Sun SPARCstation ELC, and I can
- preview my output in pageview on either my
- monochrome monitor or my neighbor's color monitor.
- The only reason I mentioned a Mac is that the
- slide printer is driven from a Mac. I get to it
- by copying my PostScript file to a DOS computer,
- thence to diskette, thence to the Mac. Networking
- here is rudimentary.
-
- Thanks again for all your suggestions.
