I would like to be able to display pictures created on my DMD on a
Macintosh, and vice versa.  I also hear that there is a video scanner
for the mac, and I would like to be able to display stuff from it on my DMD.

Given the shut-in feeling I have in my office with no outside windows,
one of my objectives would be to focus a camera on the Rocky Mountains
and have a fresh image transmitted every hour or so to one of the windows
on my DMD.

So what are the data formats?  The DMD uses three possibilities, to my
knowledge:
	dmdp format (also used by dmdfmt for sending to imagen, c.itoh, etc),
	twid format.
	large icon format (downloaded by the CATALOG program)
		(actually several sub-formats....)

dmdp is currently only able to upload bitmaps to the host, and
CATALOG can only download bitmaps.

What does a Mac picture look like?
Thanks!
