[CREATE] PANTONE COLOR MANAGER

[Olivier BERTEN]

"We" should probably not use these data but YOU could do it, for your
personal use, if you're interested in it.
The Lab and sRGB data are already available elsewhere and I doubt many
of us would ever melt inks themselves... So this was just an information
in a purely documentary purpose.

By the way, if you download the mac version, all you have to do is
unpack (you'll need pax).
