I'm sure this has circultaed before, but what is a good technical
source for XCMD writing?  I want to write C or Pascal code to control
a Data Translation video digitizer board, and then I want these
operations to execute out of Hypercard (e.g., GET DIGITIZED VIDEO).
Goodman's book and two others (purportedly on HyperTalk, hah!) had
nothing that I could find on this.  Also, is there an advantage to C
versus Pascal for this stuff?  Any help on this is greatly
appreciated.
