pdfcolor (and more)

Perhaps at one time it was included in pdftex ...

I downloaded     /pub/tex/local/cstug/thanh/pdftex/0.14h/pdftex-20010417.tgz
(The source of the distribution mentioned at the TUG site Kurt references.)

installed it ... and lo ... there is    NO   pdfcolor.tex   file in the
distribution. I downloaded it from the DUKE mirror with essentially the
same result.

As you can see from my original post ... I am using pdfTeX circa May, 2000
and the newest one (without pdfcolor.tex) is circa April 2001.

I also used the CTAN search for pdfcolor.tex to no avial, so I am guessing it
is not currently in the distribution.

What now?

In a message from Han The Thanh
http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/1999-December/006060.html

   "pdfcolor.tex redefines \makeheadline and \makefootline. Please notice
    that this file is for demonstration purpose only: LaTeX users should
    use graphicx/color package, and plain users are supposed to know what
    they are doing :). The first line of pdfcolor.tex says:

    % Very simple macros to show how to use colors with pdftex

    Perhaps I should remove the re-definition of \makeheadline and
    \makefootline from pdfcolor.tex, as it might be dangerous.

    Thanh"

So I wonder about building in a dependency.

The URL was pretty much "the only" hit for a google on pdfcolor.tex

When trying to make install-pdf, I run into an unknown file:

Please type another input file name:

I searched through the CTAN site to no avail, downloaded and inflated
pdftex ... in short ... made quite an effort to locate pdfcolor to no avail.

Any hints?

This is part of pdftex.
