	Yes, I was going to suggest poster, as I have wanted to do 
exactly that a few years ago.  poster is a very useful program.

	Eh, I don't know if I want to inherit and deal with all 
that code.  Maximum flexibility will always be found using external
utilities.  I had some questions about the license too, but apparently 
it is under the GPL.  


>Any takers on the colour question?


	You can find the answer to this question (and only these
questions right now) on the newly created tools FAQ page at:

http://www.geda.seul.org/tools-FAQ.html

	Hint: (output-color "enabled")  You may also want to look through the
comments in the system-gschemrc and gschem-lightbg.

	If anybody else has any FAQs, please send them my way or post
them.  I'm sure I have encountered lots over the years, I just don't
remember them. :(  If anybody wants to crawl over the user/dev mailing
archives and come up with FAQs, that would be nice too.
