Does someone have a TeX macro(s) that can set text (word, line or paragraph)
in color when dvi file is printed as postscript? The macro will send 
postscript code via \special that will change the color to the specified
rgb values, e.g.,

	\setincolor{.1,.25,.35}{this line is colored}
	\setincolor{0,0,0}{Back in black}

We have QMS PS printer; I'd like to use it to produce colored text for
slides etc. I use Rokiki's excellent dvips.

Advance thanks.
