If RSI can change the default visual from the Linux
folks to TRUE_COLOR instead of DIRECTCOLOR, isn't it
time they changed the default PostScript setup to 8-bit
color? Does anyone print in B&W with 4-bit color these
days? Aren't these defaults, uh, unhelpful?

Cheers,

David

I'd set BITS_PER_PIXEL=8, too. :-)

Cheers,

P.S. Let's just say it's hard to get red reds with only
16 colors.
