Chris
thanks for the notes.
One question
to get the Compass ProXT to work do we have to switch off teh Quark CM,
then does that break any semblance of screen color matching from Quark
[CMYK only I know, but usefull nonetheless.]
Ths Compass Pro manual goes into screen matching but when asked
Praxisoft say they don't handle it.
Does Quark 5 fix all this? roll on bureaus buying inDesign I'd say.

My recommendation is to avoid QuarkXPress 4 built-in color management.
