It occurs to me that if might be very useful if you could send the
appropriate color commands to a monochrome PostScript device, and
have them translated into patterns (rather like most graphics
applications do when you want that 16 color bar graphic printed
on your dot matrix).  I would think it would be a relatively minor
job to intercept the calls to generate various colors, and generate
various combinations of cross-hatching, different densities of
gray, etc.  Or are the functions responsible for color so deeply
buried that it isn't possible to redefine those operators?
