PICT2 is the newer color format. It is importable/exportable by most of the current color painting/viewing/whatever software on the Macintosh. As far as information: Inside Macintosh is a good start. If you use PICT2 then I suggest that you read Inside Mac V, and then throw it out. It provides only about half of the information. It is most sadly lacking in it's description of the bitmap format. The only way I found the complete format was to use I.M V, and then pick apart example files for differences. Chris Cox (flames/complaints to documentation@apple.com )
