I would like to animate company logos and offer an install program and screen saver engine as a very inexpensive package deal. I've checked a number of saver engines here on the forum but often times the sight license to play the animation costs almost as much as the animation would. Thus, the potential customer is now history. I realize that much work must go into the programing but for what I need it won't give me the inexpensive edge that I need. I don't plan on selling many of these but I am looking for an engine that has an install program that will play at least a single animation in windows with a simple interface for adjusting the time. If you use such a beast I am willing to register it and pay a very "modest" fee for each one I sell with an animation. It must have an install program and play full screen fli's and flc's. in windows. It would be nice to also play in DOS and to be able to play sound or script files but not essential. Would appreciate any info or insight. TIA Jerry

Jerry: Most verything you have described pertaining to screen savers is possible with Image North's ImageQ. You can create screen savers which can be stored over a series of floppies. The files can be packaged with all of the required .dll's and will include a setup program for easy installation. ImageQ will not create DOS screen savers but you can play sound files and develop elaborate scripts with many transitions and effects. I'd contact ProVantage for the best price on this package, probably around $550. There's also a Cserve forum GO INORTH. Bob
