Can someone please explain to me the reasoning behind denying all memory management to Ani Pro. I have 16Mb of memory which must be allocated as extended to Mannequin. I also run Windows (I evaluate programs for Computer magazines and most of them are Windows nowadays). I see NO reason why Ani insists (according to your documentation) that I do not have a reasonable sharing of memory for my products. I am further sick of the fact that I can create apparently invisible files. I have spent an afternoon creating a gingham background for a 3D studio animation. I saved the file as a .CEL and now retrieve an apparently blank screen. the current colour was not and is not black, and the setting is opaque, not glass. Just what statistics do you base your product design on that you assume Animator Pro will be the only product run on PCs using the product, and that the configuration can be created to suit only that file. I have spoken to many animators while writing a feature on the subject and NONE of them use Animator Pro products exclusively. I'm not surprised at the occasionally bilious comments that appear on the network. Working with Autodesk products is an unpleasant experience made needlessly difficult for some perverse reason. ALi
