- There is a PD package called Imagemagick that has a program called animation
- that will display a series of pictures. I think it creates a common color map
- from the pictures and then displays them sequentially. You can adjust the rate
- at which the pictures are displayed. The latest version supports many different
- formats including GIF and JPEG (if you have the JPEG library).
- The package can de found in contrib/ImageMagick.tar.Z on export.lcs.mit.edu.

- I hope this helps.
