  11. In article <1992Aug28.200805.18914@afterlife.ncsc.mil>,
  12. rmrohre@afterlife.ncsc.mil (Randy M. Rohrer) mentions a book that describes
  13. a bunch of graphics file formats, including:
  14.  
  15. > 24. PICT
  16.  
  17. Just a reminder that the Macintosh PICT format is very much a moving target.
  18. Which version of PICT does the book describe:
  19.  
  20.     * version-1 black-and-white PICT
  21.     * version-2 colour PICT
  22.     * version-2 colour PICT with minor enhancements like storing font
  23.       names instead of just IDs
  24.     * version-2 colour PICT with 32-bit QuickDraw (direct-RGB pixmap)
  25.       extensions
  26.     * version-2 colour PICT with 32-bit QuickDraw and QuickTime
  27.       (compressed pixmap) extensions?
  28.  
  29. I'd be pleasantly surprised if it went up to the last level. But I would
  30. be disappointed if it didn't go as far as the fourth.
