Hi.  I'm looking for any help I can get on this problem.

     I need to find a way to get graphics images up on an IBM-PC/AT
 (or monitors connected to it, viz. Vectrix or Matrox).  Eventually I will need
to control the display duration, etc. through a turbopascal program.
I have scanned the images in using an optic scanner and MacImage;
thus, I have the images on a MacII.  I can save it in any of the following
formats on the MacIntosh:  Superpaint, MacPaint, Microsoft Word, TagImage
FileFormat, Encapsulated Postscript-Binary, Encapsulated Postscript-ASCII,
RIFF, Postscript, Paint, PICT, and perhaps a few others.  MAAAYbe
I may be able to locate someone on campus who has a scanner linked to
an IBM-PC, and that would give me a whole new set of options.  But
if I don't, do I have a hope of successfully sending an image in one
of these file formats (actually, 200 images, each about 2inches by 2inches)
over to the IBM-PC AND finding a way of reading that file on the PC,
so that the image can be displayed there?  I have tried sending some files
in a couple of formats, and I get gibberish at the other end.

I am working on this in order to be able to display the stimuli I want
to use in my research (am working on my masters).

Any help I can get will be very welcome.  Thanks in advance.

Arti Nigam.
