Hi Robert,

Yes, an XCMD is like a DLL only for Macs. It means external command 
(there are also XFCNs - external functions). I have a script that 
converts RGB <-> HSV if you are interested. As Monte and others have 
shown, scripting in different ways can dramatically alter the speed of 
execution. Perhaps my script might be as fast as your DLL :-) If you 
would like me to send it, email me off-list.

Cheers,
Sarah
