     I need to know how to do two things:

1) Bring a regular color frame (from Data Translation's ColorCapture board)
   into HyperCard.

2) Since color may present a problem in number 1 and failing to find someone
   with an already canned XCMD (such as DISPICT), does anyone know how to get
   a high quality monochrome halftone image into HyperCard from a frame 
   grabber system.  The highest quality we've been able to obtain is to grab
   the frame in PhotoMac and export as 8 bit PICT file, then convert it to
   8 bit TIFF using Digital Darkroom, then screen (halftone) the image in
   PageMaker, then via the clipboard insert into HyperCard.  This is obviously
   too many steps, however, any straight-through method has met with inferior
   results (loss of a resolution and definition, specifically).

Thanks,

John Dennis
