Excuse what may be an elementary question...
does PICT-2 support 24-bit color?  (for
example, the GIF image format supports only
8-bit colormapped images, whereas TIFF or
Sun rasterfile formats can deal with 24 bits).

Also, how is PICT-2 different from PICT-1?

Thanks in advance,


Narayan Sriranga Raja.
