/* How do I go about upgrading from Animator Pro 1.3 to Animator Studio Release 1? */ Hi Lawrence. I saw your post, and I thought I'd throw out a bit of philosophy on Animator Studio regarding the age-old "upgrade" mentality. As incredible as Animator Studio is, long time users will note that there are several key features not available in this new product which are in Animator Pro. FWIW, in my opinion, AStudio does not replace ANI, but supplements it. Astudio bring higher bit images to the table, sound synch functions, new file formats, VBasic dev tools… but it does not have the pallete power nor the POCO interface of ANI (for starters). These two tools are a powerhouse used together, but the crossover does not warrant abandonement of ANI. Quite the opposite. Having exploited POCO for a while, ANI has some incredible tools in it found nowhere else. Exploit your current investment too. -dave
