Adobe 98 is internal to Adobe products and not installed into the Colorsync
folders. You can of course export it if you find it useful for other apps
such as using CompassProXT in Quark. Some are able to run Photoshop in
classic like yourself, but many , many others cannot , myself included.
We're waiting for apps from Adobe before jumping on the hyped hyper train
that left the station without saying "all aboard".

Yes of course. If they have the correct name extension they should work.

Again name extension must be there.

ME too. Apple have been making a big effort to give a road show on printing
and publishing in North America and Europe. Look on their site for dates and
places. As the last Macworld July, one could assume at Macworld SF there
will be a Colorsync with X seminar.
Of course what we will need is someone to explain it to us how it really
works. That's for the very few who can explain things, even if some of them
dare suggest practicality.
waiting........ breathless in Paris.
