- Error 004A means "incompatible file format", it's probably because
- PW Gold is unable to display multi-palette animations (I can't verify
- this, since I don't have PW Gold, but this is my guess.) Jason Harper's
- AniShow will play all animations, and if you like I'll post it BSQed
- to c.b.a2 or email a copy to you. DreamGrafix, FinderView 3.0 and
- Platinum Paint v2.0 will also play multi-palette animations.
