Easier said than done, since we would have to find some mutually
compatible information transfer method for me to actually get the images
to him...so far the cheapest, easiest suggestion has been to use the
Video Backup System, since this is something the client already owns.

I wonder how a third-party software developer could pull this off when
NewTek themselves can't make it happen with ToasterPaint!?  I was hoping
to be able to just use Iff2Clip with Tpaint on my Toaster, sans Flyer, to
convert my IFFs to Flyer clips and then just transfer the clips to the
Flyer system.  The clips may not be much smaller, but they'll certainly
be easier to transfer than all those IFFs!


Ah well....I'm reconsidering this entire plan.  I naively thought it
would be an easy process to transfer my animation work to this guy's
Flyer and make use of his system for editing, but this plan is just not
panning out.  I may have to fall back to Plan B, which is buy a used PAR
and make do with it's "sub-standard" JPEG compression.

Thanks John....
