I would appreciate some advice about whether or not ANI-PRO is an appropriate product for what I have in mind. I originally purchased Animator but found that the limitation of 320×200 did not allow me to do what I needed. Recently I upgraded to ANI-PRO but am sure having some trouble with it. What I want to do is: 1. Explain the operation of some instrumentation (vacuum systems and pressure measurement systems). These would not be unlike the demo of the internal combustion engine which is included with ANI-PRO. Text windows would open at each important point and explain what is happening. 2. Demonstrations of instruments which could be distributed to potential purchasers. These would include general descriptions of the product and pointing out important features. Some animation would be included which would show some operations of certain aspects. It would be essentially a VGA slide show with some simple animation. Now I thought that ANI-PRO was going to be my ideal environment. But after purchasing the upgrade a couple of weeks ago, I have yet to be able to run the program in 640×480 mode. I have finally today gone out and bought a new VGA board (ATI VGA WONDER with 1Meg) and in spite of loading the VESA driver that came with it, I still only get garbage or error messages when I try to change to 640×480 mode. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate some help. I will probably hear that Panacea's product is going to be my answer. When doesn't the VESA that comes with this $300 video board work?! The other concern I have is that this. I wonder how anyone can ever distribute a FLC to other people to view in 640×480 mode. ??? It would be a miracle for the average user to happen to have the appropriate VESA driver handy to be able to view the FLC! Is ANI-PRO a reasonable product for building such demo FLC's and distributing them with the player for people to view? If not what is an appropriate product for this kind of use? Thanks for any suggestions anyone can offer! Bob J.
