Crossed my mind as possible... little experience with their use on web pages
yet, though.   (A window would not do for my needs.)

Would their display require an applet linking to a system-resident MPEG
player?   In any case, would their display be possible on 90% or more of
internet connected computer systems as configured?

It also occurs to me that if one is going to the trouble to use an applet,
perhaps one could download just about ANY sequence of images, regardless of
format, and display them as an animation.

Any thoughts?
