I tried the program and it worked wonderfully...eventually.
 
The problems I've been having were apparently related to neither the programs
nor the dataset.  Rather, it was how I was down-loading the data.  I have a
partition on a large, shared drive (under a Sun), onto which I save my datasets.
I can access the datasets from my PowerMac via Appleshare am able to view them
directly off the net, using NIH-Image.  However, neither 4D Turnaround nor any
other program that I tried was able to convert the the datasets to a Quicktime
movie.  After much fumbling, I the light finally dawned that it might be a
networking problem.  I ftp'd the dataset to the hard drive on my Mac (using
Fetch) and things worked perfectly.
 
I expect that the problem relates to accessing a DOS file on a Unix drive using
Appleshare.  Anyone out there have similar experiences--especially if they've
found solutions?
 
Thanks in advance--
