    A generous person on the net did send me a hypercard stack
 (movie converter, I think) which will convert PICTs to a movie. 
 However, when I first tried to use it, it didn't work.  As an
 experiment, I went back to Quicktime 1.0 instead of 1.5: the
 stack then ran, but would not make movies.  I decided that my
 version of Quicktime had been corrupted somehow, and installed a
 new version of 1.5.  At this point, the stack would create
 movies.

    However, I also discovered another method now that I have a
 1.5 Quicktime which works.  Many of the movies players will allow
 creating movies from PICS files (there are at least two PD
 players on various archives which will do this: I'm on the road
 and don't have the names with me).  NIH Image, which is a nifty
 PD image manipulation / enhancement / modification utility, will
 make PICS files from a stack of PICT files.  I found this method
 works well for me for at least some sequences of images, though
 the hypercard stack is really nice to have as well.
