We are currently in the process of putting together an
interactive/multimedia system to run under Windows 3.0. Among other
things we are attempting to incorporate "live video" using a VCR,
some sort of hardware that allows us to view the video signal in a
window under Windows 3.0. What we want to do is play back a certain
section of a video tape at any given time while the system is
running. The questions are (maybe a FAQ):

Is there a "video viewer" out there that can be controlled either
via DDE or as a DLL  under Windows 3.0 ?

What equipment is necessary to control a VCR in the above described
manner (SMPTE box, special VCR etc.) ?

Are there any DDE/DLL "viewers" out there that allows you to view
(not edit) text documents such as Word Perfect docs or WinWord docs ?

If you have any information that can be of help or if you can point
to any other source (publication etc) please e-mail me at the address
below or post to this newsgroup.


Thank You.
