"POCO program called RandCel" I must have missed this (by the way, sorry I am late on this thread. I was away for a few days). It looks great! I hope that Marc and Dave take a look at it. Good options, including being able to do it over a single frame. I notice that it's presented as shareware. Did you get any money from this? For a wishlist (this is to Dave as well): I would like to use my mouse to position the cel over the frames. If I could use the draw tool and write my name "live" over frames… Sorta like playing back a macro but have the effect be a playable animation. (It wouldn't have to be *my* name – it could be someone else's!) Also – I notice that at 320×200 some of the dialogue options are off the edge of the screen a little. There were a couple of very long horizontal options that would have been better if they were shorter. I realize that you haven't worked on this for a while and aren't soliciting feedback, but I was excited by the effect of watching the screen build up with the cel. One last thing – I probably would modify the routine's messages with the thought of someone using it frequently. There are a couple of phrases that I would get tired of reading again! I will make sure that Mark Gerhard (product manager) is aware of these routines. I believe he is still away though. I have estimated that there are 2 POCO users out there – looks like I was wrong! Nik
