   Just looked myself, yep, you're right!

  Ah, that's great. Thanks for the advice Zeger, that will put me right. 
Another quick couple of questions if I may? So what kind/type of animation 
would it be whereby you actually use a framerate of  7.5, 8 or 12? (I.e., 
lower than the size you recommend). And what about the other way around? 
Faster than 25fps?

   Yes it is. The nice thing is seeing what you've built, and I think if you 
accomplish this and it's what you expected, then imagination kicks in for 
other animation ventures. That's the cool part, I think.  :o)

    Especially for me, as I am now sourly tempted to go for the IRTC Anims 
round with the present subject...  :)

     Yes, I dream too...
