This animation INI works. Create a folder called "Frames" in the scene folder
and a batch file "Convert.bat" (see below). It clears the Frames folder, creates
the frames, calls ImageMagick to convert them to GIF, and opens Chrome to view
the results (salt to taste).

Input_File_Name  = Scene.pov
Output_File_Name = Frames\frame-

Width  = 600
Height = 600

Initial_Frame = 0
Final_Frame   = 36
Initial_Clock = 0
Final_Clock   = 1

Cyclic_Animation = Off
Antialias        = On
Sampling_Method  = 2
Output_Alpha     = Off
Jitter           = On
Output_File_Type = N

Pre_Scene_Command  = C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C Del /Q Frames\*.*
Post_Scene_Command = "Convert.bat"

;Convert.bat:
;
;SET Convert=C:\Programs\Utilities\Graphics\ImageMagick\convert.exe
;SET FramesIn=Frames\*.png
;SET GIFOut=Animation.gif
;%Convert% -delay 1x15 %FramesIn%  %GIFOut%
;"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
C:\Projects\Graphics\Color\Color Wheels\Sunflowers\A\2\Animation.gif"
;EXIT
