Hmm...  Well, since NetBSD doesn't use Quickdraw anyway, AFAIK, that's not
going to be a big problem;)

However, having said that, I am interested.  I have written many, many
programs for my LCIII, most of them using color quickdraw, and yet, I still
don't know what you're talking about :-)  So, what is this call, then?
What am I supposed to be calling?

Ouch.  Mind you, I run NetBSD on a Sun3 with only 4M.  It took about 3
hours to compile tcsh.
