Aside from scaling  the values from 0-100 to 0-255,  I don't think
it  needs much. Maybe  an extra  field or  two. In fact,  I rather
suspect that just adding a flag to generate a ColorPort-compatible
.txt file  (in addition  to or  instead of  a PostScript  file) to
printtarg would probably do the trick.
