If you are talking about the tga2avi program that I wrote, I superceded it with
a Win95 only version that wrote. Much easier to use. I am going to add sound
also, just have been really tied up with the stuff that pays the bills lately.
You can get it at:

207.224.162.253 and take the links link. Might be down tomorrow due to network
evaluation at work. Having a real DNS problem or it would be www.wallysoft.com.

Hope this helps,
