- Thanks, it feels good to know that they weren't wasted hours :-)

- Yeah, I knew this would be a problem for many users. (the inital
- debate was to lower the picture quality, or block out the full
- 320x200 screen by making black borders around the edges, so the
- resulting animation would be smaller. But I decided not to compromise,
- the GS deserves the best! However, if there are enough requests for
- the reduced version, let me know, and I'll do it!)
-
- I don't know how one would go about segmenting files though :(

- You're welcome! I knew my insomnia would be of use one of these days! :)
