QTR-Quadtone RIP

Ok, I think I've got the issue.

The ZIP compression is not supported, but the LZW compression
is supported.  There isn't a 64-bit issue with this.
It makes no difference whether you save on a Mac or PC
nor whether you select Mac or PC byte order.  (BTW, new intel macs have PC order).
Also if it's an RGB file, Pixel Order should be "interleaved".
