Howdy! Thanks for the help; I downloaded two that looked promising (PLAYER.EXE and AAPLHI.ZIP), but they don't quite meet my requirements yet. The critical thing that I am looking for is the ability for me to put some text or graphics on the screen, then call this animation player, and tell it where on the already-drawn screen to play the animation. With a little playing with AAPLAYHI I was able to skip the screen erase on entry. I used Soft-ICE to skip past the screen setting code (int 10 with ah=0) so the entry screen erasure wasn't done. The exit erasure I wasn't able to remove. Assumedly the .EXE file could be patched to remove the initial screen selection (making the assumption that my program, which is calling AAPLAYHI, will set the screen correctly before calling it). Any other suggestions? Thanks!
