Adolf, I'm not sure if Clint made this clear… VistaMorph is a companion program for use with Vistapro and is of no use without Vistapro. VistaMorph generates "script" files that Vistapro uses to render animations. The "morph" part comes in when you use VistaMorph+Vistapro to transform one landscape into another in an animation. Vistapro is a landscape rendering program — see some of the GIF files in DL15 for sample images. It does not generate animations in real time but produces still frames that can be joined together into FLC animation files. I believe that Vistamorph will run on any machine with 640K of DOS RAM and 1 meg or so of LIM/EMS. This is somewhat immaterial though since Vistapro requires at a 386 or better with 4MB of RAM. Any machine that can run Vistapro can also run VistaMorph. If you're looking for something to morph one image into another — you don't want Vistapro or VistaMorph. If you want to make neat "fly by" animations and have lots of fun you'll be interested in Vistapro and VistaMorph. John.
