Is 640×480 trickier, or is it sometimes impossible? I am using WINCIM, as I write this, at 1280 x 1024 in gorgeous color on an IBM 6091 23" monitor. But, I have been relegated to use AniPro at 320×200 (biggest "virtual pixels" I've ever seen). Nik already tried to help me with this, but just in case, here's the info again. I am using the "IBM IMAGE Adaptor", with 3 Meg, on a PS/2 mod 80. IBM provides an AUTOCAD driver with the adaptor. Can that be used somehow? They also provide DOS, and WINDOWS drivers. Wish I knew if AniPro is going to Windows. For the time being, not knowing that information, I plan to return this equipment to IBM when I retire July 31 (I had planned to purchase it at 2nd hand prices.

Ed, 640×480? In 256 colors you need a graphics adapter with VESA compatiblity for those modes. To play an animation at 640x480x16 colors I have to reprocess the animation frame by frame and use GRASP as my runtime program. Chuck Jameson Silver Tongue Software
