Thanks... In cyberspace, no one can hear you giggle.

Thanks... and exactly right... Being a dedicated practitioner of economic
efficiency (cheapskate), I do as much as I possibly can with freeware. I was
able to dig up a copy of the freeware version of Ulead Gif Animator, which has
some pretty nice file size reduction tools for something with a cost of zero.
One would definitely notice more dramatic adverse effects of reducing the size
of the color palette if there were a broader rage of colors.   Also, a flat
black background creates many redundant pixels that can be removed from every
frame but the first.  Finally, relatively rapid motion covers up a world of
fudge factors.

Best Regards,
