Will, Thanks for the response. What I'm looking into is to try and compress animation/sound files. Simply using Stuffit gives me 50% give or take. I'm interested in finding some LZW, RLE (or whatever; at this point, haven't found anything) compression that I can call from an app. BTW — I'm quite new to the Mac — is Amimation Compressor part of Quicktime? Thanks again, Steve

Yes. If you have access to the QuickTime development example code, there's areal simple version of ConvertToMovie available as source code.Its generally very easy to do the basics. If you don't need compression directly from your app, you could save a seried of PICT files, named in the style "Name.0001", "Name.0002" etc and use ConvertToMovie to create a QuickTime movie. If you can get your sound onto the clipboard, you can then open the movie in SimplePlayer and paste the sound in. Will Morse
