You'll either have to save all the frames to a standard Amiga directory,
and then import them when it's done, or use a utility to do this for you.

I have used a program called Plantation with very good results. It was
specifically written for multi-machines on a network, and has a special
provision to handle the concerns of the PAR. Plantation costs about $100.

By the way, for better results, do not render frames 1-100 on the first
computer and frames 101-200 on the second. What works better is to tell
computer #1 to do frames 1-199, frame step = 2, so it does all the odd
frames, and tell computer #2 to do frames 2-200, frame step = 2, so it does
all the even frames. That way, the two computers stay fairly neck-and-neck
as far as the rendering go.

Regards, John.
