The first messages on this subject appear to have scrolled off into the wild blue yonder before I got to read them. What is Smacker, what does it do, how well does it do it, who makes it, how much, and what number do I call to order it?

(I don't know your name, so:) M&M: Smacker is a video and animation compressor designed specifically for 8-bit (256 color) data. Smacked-flics can be played back real-time, even off a CD-ROM. It can do many cool things, and it does them very well. Search the libraries for the keyword "SMACKER". The playback utility, a press release, and several sample flics are available for downloading. The press release describes Smacker pretty completely, but if you have any questions – fire away. Smacker is produced by the company I work for, RAD Software, and our number is 801-322-4300. Thanks for your interest! ->Jeff
