If it is not too much work and would not cause problems, then probably it is
better to have it as an animation option between TGA, PNG, TIF and maybe
DIB.  DIB's are quite supported in many many programs that accept sequential
files as a way of building an AVI file (or MPG or MOV).  That is why I
mentioned the DIB format in my original post.  In all cases the user chooses
the base name and the program produces the sequence of numbered base name.
