Royal itself isn't the problem--it's QuickDraw that won't handle rotation.
ATM will probably have the same problem.

The question I have is whether or not Apple and/or Adobe will put in rotation
"hooks" (such as interpreting the LaserWriter Driver PicComments) that will
allow drawing programs to ask for it.  That would be something of extreme
niftyness...
