I'm looking for animation tools for the Mac II.  Here's what we'd like to
do:  
   - create a large number of 256 level gray scale images
   - store them in ram (we plan to purchase a IIci with 8 or 16 meg)
   - have an animation tool serially display these images, cleanly
     refreshing the display with every vertical retrace.
Becuase we're doing psychophysical experiments, it's essential that
the successive images appear exactly on the vertical retrace, and with
no pause due to any kind of system activity.  Does anyone have any 
advice or experience they can pass along?  Thanks.
