Hello all ...

     What are the tools required to string a batch of image frames together into an
animation format file ... with unix?  The idea
here is to be able to start an animation script before I go home at the end of the day
and to have something more than simple 320
frames in a directory in the morning.  

  Dennis

That's funny, that was what some of us would have said, cmpeg works
fairly well also.

I'll see if I can find the source code or a binary for Sun Solaris.
