- Well, I know you're going to hate me for saying this, but...
- AMOS is not really the best language to be doing that kind of
- thing in. Even though AMOS Pro supports IFF ANIMs (not sure
- if it can handle the ANIM5 IFF format) it's rather outdated.
- Maybe you should consider Blitz, which has at least 2 libs capable
- of supporting Anim5.
-
- The other option is to get hold of ViewTek from the Aminet,
- which *I think* has some slideshow type facilities, and it will
- support Anim5.

- Exactly. :->

- Well, it's the best I can suggest I'm afraid!! :-<
- Sorry I couldn't come up with a better solution.
