Movies are great and will become important over time, but the PICT extensions are what have me excited over the short term. You can use JPEG to compress a PICT resource and still have it drawn with DrawPicture - QuickDraw does the decompression on the fly! Take that beautiful 24-bit splash screen that you've been hesitating to use because it would double the size of your app and just compress it down to 15K or so. -- Michael Peirce -- outpost!peirce@claris.com -- Peirce Software -- Suite 301, 719 Hibiscus Place -- Macintosh Programming -- San Jose, California 95117 -- & Consulting -- (408) 244-6554, AppleLink: PEIRCE
