Working Paper

The stored picture facility (FAKETV) allows LISP users, and to some extent machine language users, to access a library of stored images rather than live vidisector scenes. The vidisector functions in LISP have been slightly restructured so that input from stored images or live images can be handled with no changes to the user's program. The procedure for creating stored images is also described.
