A friend of mine across the hall just got a new color Sun.  It came
with several nice digitized pictures.  So the obvious question is:
Has anybody written a utility to turn these pictures into Mac II
pictures?  I believe the pictures are postscript files.  I figure
that there surely is someone out there in Unix land that has
done this already.  So what does it entail to port Sun pictures to
a Mac II?

Why are color pitures for the Mac II so scarce?  The only thing
that I have found on a local BBS is a GrayView picture of 
Cheryl Tiegs.  This is quite a let down from all the nice 
ray tracing pictures you see demo'd on the Mac II when it
is in the store.  But when you get it home all you get is
that inane Tour (in B&W even!). 
We don't get mac.binaries...yet.

By the way, DeskPict doesn't seem to work on 4.2/6.0,
is there a fix?  Similarly, PopKeys/KeyPad don't work
in Multifinder, is there a newer version that does.
