OK. I found one problem: zwpagelayout does not work with xcolor. I
will try to solve the problem but it will take some time. The reason
why I do not like xcolor is because equations (29) and (49--58) in its
documentation are wrong. They are just mathematical idealization. I
tried this approach on offset printing and the result was unusable. It
is necessary to use ICC profiles for conversion. These equations can
only be used for simple graphs and saturated colors. Before I release
version supporting xcolor I will have to be sure that this does not
damage my colors.

I will send the sample (using color, not xcolor) within a few minutes.
