- "makeanim" will create AGA animations. "PPShow" will show them, as will
- "VT", but "PPShow" is much, much faster. If the ANIM7 (as opposed to
- ANIM5) format ever becomes a standard, you can expect even faster
- playback since it uses short or longwords instead of bytes.

- As far as I know, not yet for AGA.

- Also, the available tools to deal with AGA graphics are limited at this
- point. When DPaint/AGA gets here, the situation will suddenly get a
- whole lot better... The new "expected release date" from EA is Feb 1st.
