The folks at Emerald City have licensed the right to make use of some
undocumented, unsupported hooks in the LaserWriter PostScript
interpreter. That's how they get their access to the bitmaps; by paying
money for the right to use the technology in a way other than putting
bits on paper, which is what the normal LaserWriter paid for, and ALL
that he or she paid for.
