That's outstanding, Bob. I would never have been able to figure that out
just by looking at my wife's camera, and I doubt that she would be too happy
if I took it apart. :) I wasn't even close! The x-ray view made it much
clearer. I'll bet the camera/photography crowd would love to see that
animation! (Mrs. Blandston was certainly quite impressed!)

I am humbled by your ability, as well as by many folks around this
newsgroup.

Also, now's my chance to learn to use Chris Colefax's Clock file. I've been
meaning to get around to that, since all his other include files are so
incredible...

Thanks for posting the code. Before I plagiarize it I'm going to give the
animation one more try on my own, after viewing your animations.

Regards,
Dave
