Ellison – Have VistaPro output to PCX rather than VANIM. Then the PCX files can be converted using CONVERT.EXE (using Animator, not AAPro) (each one has to be done manually as macros are not supported {Booo!}). Once they are GIF files, most of them can be loaded as frames of a flic using a macro or manually (if you like mindless repetition). If you've done this and it doesn't work, that's mysterious. I have done it without a hitch on a number of occasions. The pallette I end up with usually has to be tweaked pretty big time to get something other than earth tones in it, but it works. Are you sure you have the resoplution set correctly in VistaPro? AA's convert only deals with 320×200 (I think) which is the VistaPro resolution I have set. Hope that helps a bit…… David Taffet
