I'm surprised that you say that 12-bit color is not satisfactory, as you get more colors on the screen than with an 8-bit color map. I've spoken with people at the MIT Media Lab about the NeXTstation Color, including some professional animators. Much to their surprise, they told me, 12=bit color is good enough so that you really can't see the difference. This is probably due to PostScript's superior rendering capabilities. Have you actually looked at a 12-bit color system, or are you just saying that it is not satisfactory because of dogma? -- ................................................................simson
