I'm trying to find a player for HAM Anims… Anyone have any idea what might play them? (PPShow, RTAP, and DPaint (Non-AGA) all choke on it. DP and RTAP will load the first frame and stop, PPShow says it can't play "ANIM Op 74 Animations") Thanks in advance…

Have you tried view 3.6 yet? Memeber of AMP Midgard Graphics

No I haven't… is it shareware? If so (or not) where can I find it?

I D/L'ed View 3.6 and it too does not work. It says it's an IFF of unknown format, and proceeds to knock my cursor out of commision. (If will only travel half of the visible screen after I try to load the program.) SuperView and the older SV both load the first frame as if it were a picture, then it stops there without playing the anim. <sigh>

Hmmm, I really dunno what to tell ya then, There's so many formats that I don't know which player to tell ya to try. If it's an Anim-7 format animation ya might try the player that comes with the Shareware prg Viewtek.. Memeber of AMP Midgard Graphics

Viewtek works fine with HAM Anims (both Anim 5 and Anim 7 types) on my machine (A500+). Try that. Mat.

Ah-Ha! Viewtek! I can't download it! It gives me a file not found error! I'll try again in hands-on mode… thanks!
