Hmmmm, was that just slight exaggeration about DCTV being able to let
you do "real time 24-bit animation" or am I confused about DCTV?  First
of all I thought DCTV was not really 24-bit.  Secondly, when we say
"real time" are we talking about 30fps...60fps?  Are we running from
RAM?

Please post a few more details about how DCTV lets you create ANIMs.  I
thought it just produced IFF ANIMs that would be hi-res(?).  Is there
such a thing as a DCTV-format ANIM, that is, an NTSC ANIM that looks
like it might be 24-bit?  

Thanks for the info.  I have a Toaster, but I'd like to know some more
about how DCTV and a Toaster might work as a team.
