- Quick question: Say you have a 640x480(?) 16-color picture you want to
- use for your run of .gif's. You have say, 8 of these in a series. Separately
- these files would take up around 1meg of disk space total, right? Now, when
- you take the run of .gif's and merge them into a .fli animation, will the
- .fli file(s?) take up MORE or LESS space?
