What you are saying is clear.  I hadn't thought of the truncation that
occurs because of the 8 character limit in relation to animation files.  Any
suggestions?  Could we forget about the 8-character limit (and simply append
the "_PP" without truncating), or would that cause big problems for DOS?  Is
there a better solution?
