Hi: I was hoping that some of you folks out there may save me some heartache….I am considering revamping my 486 machine and would appreciate and advice, sugesstion etc… I would like to use DR DOS 6.0 along with SuperStor Pro and QEMM 386, and then use animator pro ver 1.0 ( waiting on 1.3 and 3d studio now ). My main concerns are the following..will ani pro work with a compressed drive, will aniplay work with compressed drives, I tend to use aniplay with command prompts instead of interactive. I also plan on doing some animations to be run under windows 3.1 along with a pro spectrum audio system. I am very new to all of this so any help at all would be greatly appreciated . Thanks In Advance.
