Nope, we've allways had HAM support in our ANIM's. In fact the animation
with the ray traced scene and the airplane flying around it is HAM. The
2.0 Videoscape release also supports HAM. We haven't seen any compression
better than the latest ANIM specification. I would love to incorperate any
new compression techniques (ANIM is extensible) once they are made public
and IF they offer any advantages over the RIFF style ANIM (the most
compressed ANIM form). We went out on a limb to release our animation
formats, now we have several companies supporting IFF ANIM (the Director
for example). They can support it because it's public.
