Nice! My first animation is lost in time. What was that 'fmpg' in dos and with
Qbasic to make a mpg file. It took a couple of files beside the normal animation
image files. I remember a little about the code file, you picked when you use a
whole frame and when and how to interpret the next frame. My head hurts just
thinking about all the hours spent trying figure it out.

Have Fun!
