Christophe: Is there enough room on your DOS drive for temporary storage of a couple of your ANI files? If so, I would copy off the ones which are not as important at the moment. Optimize your drive next and then do your joins. Delete the original segments, rename your .TMP file and then re-optimize your drive. I found that when my drive gets full, the seam where I just joined two segments appears corrupted until I clear out some space and re-optimize. I believe the newly joined segments create a .TMP file which is placed on the slower tracks of your hard drive. The closer your animation file is to the slowest drive track the higher chance that it will not be fast enough to maintain playback speed. Bob
