You never cease to amaze me.  Your efforts will not be in vain because I'm
going to download that file.  Maybe if Dave Mason gets some fresh cash in
his pocket he might reconsider and continue to make improvements or add
features, although he's up against plenty of freeware out there.  Main
advantage to DTA being lossless animations helps but even though the file
sizes are kept reasonably small they aren't near as small as the lossy kind.
