  Could someone please send me info about the format of 32-bit RGBdirect pixel
maps? I am already familiar with PICT 2 format. Issue 1 of Develop tells me
much of what I want; I think what I really need is a description of values
other than 0 for the packType field, and any changes to the methods used to
compress pictures. I'm also looking for a mention of what seems to be a new
QuickDraw opcode of 009A.
