Hi. I'm looking for any help I can get on this problem.
I need to find a way to get graphics images up on an IBM-PC/AT
(or monitors connected to it, viz. Vectrix or Matrox). Eventually I will need
to control the display duration, etc. through a turbopascal program.
I have scanned the images in using an optic scanner and MacImage;
thus, I have the images on a MacII. I can save it in any of the following
formats on the MacIntosh: Superpaint, MacPaint, Microsoft Word, TagImage
FileFormat, Encapsulated Postscript-Binary, Encapsulated Postscript-ASCII,
RIFF, Postscript, Paint, PICT, and perhaps a few others. MAAAYbe
I may be able to locate someone on campus who has a scanner linked to
an IBM-PC, and that would give me a whole new set of options. But
if I don't, do I have a hope of successfully sending an image in one
of these file formats (actually, 200 images, each about 2inches by 2inches)
over to the IBM-PC AND finding a way of reading that file on the PC,
so that the image can be displayed there? I have tried sending some files
in a couple of formats, and I get gibberish at the other end.
I am working on this in order to be able to display the stimuli I want
to use in my research (am working on my masters).
Any help I can get will be very welcome. Thanks in advance.
Arti Nigam.

Ok... Let's try this again...
> I need to find a way to get graphics images up on an IBM-PC/AT
I have a program called "The Graphics Link" which claims to convert
file formats, even across the Mac. It will covert MacPaint to
several popular PC formats including MS windows paint, MS paintbrush,
GEM paint, DR HALO, Bload, EGApaint.
You can call them yourselves.

I've had no luck with the product trying to use it the other way
around (PC-->MAC). But, it claims it can be done!
