In article <1992Aug28.200805.18914@afterlife.ncsc.mil>,
rmrohre@afterlife.ncsc.mil (Randy M. Rohrer) mentions a book that describes
a bunch of graphics file formats, including:

> 24. PICT

Just a reminder that the Macintosh PICT format is very much a moving target.
Which version of PICT does the book describe:

	* version-1 black-and-white PICT
	* version-2 colour PICT
	* version-2 colour PICT with minor enhancements like storing font
	  names instead of just IDs
	* version-2 colour PICT with 32-bit QuickDraw (direct-RGB pixmap)
	  extensions
	* version-2 colour PICT with 32-bit QuickDraw and QuickTime
	  (compressed pixmap) extensions?

I'd be pleasantly surprised if it went up to the last level. But I would
be disappointed if it didn't go as far as the fourth.
