Tim, Autodesk supplies POCO Programming Language Ref Manual and Addendum manual if you ask for it. Great documentation, monster power. BTW, check your Ver # on Ani-Pro, Autodesk will upgrade you free to 1.3a if you don't have it. More complete fonts with anti-alias for video and a few more tightened screws with regard to code. I luuuuuuuv Ani-Pro, have been with it since it's original pre-Pro days. Once it went to Pro it became an everyday work tool. Once everything goes over to NT I fear that this superb program will be left behind. Perhaps I'll start stashing some bucks away for one of those super hi-powered 2D animation programs from England… Unless, UNLESS… Ani-Pro gets a rewrite to NT with a higher bit palatte (dream dream dream).

>> I may be late to the party but I recently discovered AniPro1.3. It is the paint program I always wanted on my Amiga. I looked over several of the POCO programs and was wondering if there is a reference manual available or any 3rd party books. << just wanted to let you know that AniPro support is as strong as ever here. 😉 i'm a HUGE fan of the package, and if you have any questions about its programmability, just holler. i would highly recommend you send in your registrations and get your POCO programming manuals. the software developer kit resources are veyr helpful also ($25)… direct from Autodesk. let me know if you want on this, i'll be glad to forward it to you. -dave
