Hmmmnnn, isn't refuting advertising with factual information something of an exercise in futility? I see MUCH more advertising for ADPro and other ASDG products than I see for IM (do you make anything else anymore?). If people don't hear of your products, how are they to buy it? I use, and like, ADPro. I haven't heard much from you that would make me want to change products. Mostly because the "flaming" tone of your messages gets so tiresome that after reading the first paragraph (so I know why you're flaming THIS time), I just skip to the next message. Simple IM questions: 1 — Does it support AGA display modes and the "new" way of selecting screen resolutions? 2 — Do you do any of the new AGA ANIM (7/8) formats for morphing? 3 — How easy is it to create an animation (AGA formats if possible) from successive (say TARGA format) raytraced pictures created by POV-ray? 4 — Can I create an AGA anim on a non-AGA machine? If you want to talk about ImageMaster, then go right ahead. But PLEASE stop bellyaching about ASDG outselling you with an "inferior" product. Tell me — or better yet SHOW ME — why I should go an buy your product. Send up some morphs (more than 32 frames please, one second is too short a time to judge), convert a GIF (or TARGA, or jpeg image) or two to IFFs (HAM8 and 16-color), and u/l both the original image and the IFFs. Alternatively, put together a demo disk of images and morphs and make it available either freely or for the cost of handling. Just another $0.02… // Brian — Cruising on AutoPilot….. \X/
