I need some quick and dirty advice: I want to create a solid-pattern pixpat
with an arbitrary RGB color, appropriately mapped within the color space of
the particular display device.  I find the IM-V documentation to be somewhat
vague on how to pull this off.

I do NOT want the dithered results that arise from using MakeRGBPat.

If anyone has any suggestions/advice, I'd be interested in hearing them...
I could live with a ResEdit-based solution (using ppats), but have had as
little luck using that (ResEdit 1.2) as mucking around directly in memory.

I'll summarize in a couple of weeks.
