I may have to eat my words about ADPro, Peter. I have to confess that my system files were screwed up. I looked at the startup sequence and it turns out that my REXX drawer was mislabled as REXXC, for some unknown reason. And my user-startup file was pointing at drawers that did not exist. I am slowly but surely getting the hang of the Amiga workbench system files, especially the ASSIGN statements. I seem to have screwed things up pretty good, but I am not sure how. I am now installing ADPro again and paying close attention to where I install the arexx scripts. A very nice guy gave me a .tga to anim rexx script and I am going to try it out once I get the system straightened out. (VOILLA! While I have been typing here on the clone, I have tweaking various things on the Amiga and I just got the F9.ADPRO batch load arexx to work correctly!) BTW, Pro Video Spectrum is a so-so video capture device. New Media had a shoot out a couple of months ago and the PVS came in around the mid range of image quality. It does capture motion video clips but it does not do NTSC output. I already own a Digital Vision R/T board already, (which came out on top in terms of image quality) so I am a bit biased in favor of that board. It can capture in either .AVI (Microsoft) format or in .FLI (Autodesk) format. Imagine's manual is different, isn't it? These guys are the bachelor Norwegian farmers of programming. I think I got to page 35 before they even allowed me to open the forms editor and make a sphere. I never saw so much psychological coaching in my life. I guess they know what they are doing, but it is such a totally different approach from that taken by Autodesk in the 3D Studio manual.
