I am seeking information including literature cites on the technology
behind black and white film colorization.  What companies are currently
involved in film colorization?  How do their processes differ?  What is
the role of the computer in these processes?  What are the limitations of 
these processes?  Have their been any recent innovations in film
colorization?

I am not interested in the ethics and aesthetics of film colorization
at this time, just the technology.  Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
