It is being put together by the fellow that designed PC-Separator (aka Kaleidescope) which outputs bitmaps to a Lino-100 for color separations (these are full-page 16 Mbyte bitmaps!). His PostScript clone may run as much as 20 times faster with bitmaps and halftones than Adobe's PostScript on the Atlas (68020 based system) due to a new bitslice RIP that has been developed recently. I'll keep you posted on the progress of his project.
