-Offset printers need separate camera-ready copies for each ink
-they will use in printing a document. Aurora is a PostScript
-program for producing colour separates from a colour PostScript
-document. Aurora can be run from any type of computer, as it
-depends only on a black-and-white PostScript printer for its
-execution. It is capable of handling colour images as well as
-ordinary graphics, though image handling is very slow.

-=============================================================================
-CONTENTS
-========
-
-The Aurora distribution consists of the files
-
-README This file.
-
-aurora The Aurora PostScript program.
-
-auroratx.ps A description of how Aurora works, its limitations, and
- examples showing what it will do. This document is
- suitable for printing on a colour printer, a Level 2
- machine, viewing with a PostScript interpreter, or as
- a last resort, printing on an old Level 1 machine.
- The last page, containing several images, is extremely
- slow to output.
-
-cyan These four files allow selection of the primary colour
-magenta for a particular run of Aurora. Any colour used in
-yellow a document will be separated into these components, and
-black the amount of the selected primary will be output.
-
-red These three files are examples of how to select custom
-green colours. When used with Aurora, only precise matches
-blue to a custom colour are output (either as full black or
- as a shade of gray).
-
-60.lpi When using the CMYK colours, it is useful to set up
-71.lpi different screens for halftones of the different
-85.lpi primaries. These files contain instructions obtained
- from the Adobe file server for establishing suitable
- screens for a desired dot density. The parameters
- used in these files may vary between machines, and
- you may find it necessary to consult the PPD file
- appropriate to your machine from the Adobe file server
- for more suitable numbers for setting colour screens
- on your hardware.

-=============================================================================
-USAGE
-=====
-
-It is necessary to send to the PostScript printer the file
-"aurora", followed by a colour primary selection, optionally a
-screen specification, and then the document itself. With some
-operating systems, it is best to join (or concatenate) the separate
-files into one before despatch to the printer. They must be
-treated as a single job by the PostScript printer.
-
-This procedure must be followed for each desired separate.
-
-For example, the files
- aurora magenta 60.lpi mydoc
-would be sent as a single file to the printer to print the magenta
-separate of "mydoc", using a 60 lines per inch screen.
-=============================================================================

-Aurora is available by anonymous FTP from "ftp.adfa.oz.au" in
-directory "pub/postscript".

-Aurora may not be used for commercial purposes without the consent
-of the author. It may be freely transmitted provided the authorship
-and copyright notice is retained unmodified.
