Re: Imaging interface techniques and tools

Rick,

You can also take a look at the Ultimedia APIs.

Midrange Computing once had an article on it. This article can be read at 
www.mcpressonline.com. I do not know, if the code for that article is available 
for download.

IIRC, it required the multimedia files stored on the IFS.
