Hi Dave, (1.) Is there a known bug involving pasting cels and use of the zoom function? I believe I'm using Ani Pro 1.3. I'm taking a 2 x 240 cel, and pasting it into a 2 x 480 workspace. That works fine. But my 'puter keeps locking up when I bring the cursor into the zoom window to paint. I believe it's happened when pasting while the zoom window was open too. This happens even when I have a vanilla boot. What I'm trying to accomplish is an RGB mask to fieldify two sets of images in Video Post. The 2 x 240 cel works fine when I render at the appropriate resolution, but I now want to render at X x 480. I thought I'd just paste two cells, one on top of the other. (2.) Is there an easier way to get an X x 480 set of alternating black and white lines, one pixel in width? I painted them by hand, which took a while. <g> Paul S.

(AUTOEXEC and CONFIG) for any memory management going on? also, what are your current switch setting son PharLap? c:\ani> cfig386 ani.exe will report this. >> What I'm trying to accomplish is an RGB mask to fieldify two sets of images in Video Post.

Dave, Here's my vanilla system files: CONFIG.SYS Buffers=20,0 Files=30 AUTOEXEC.BAT path=c:\dos;c:\windows c:\mouse2\mouse >> c:\ani> cfig386 ani.exe << "Configured switch values: None." >> FILL tool using TILE ink. bingo.<< I had never use the tile ink. Worked great, thanks! Paul S.

>> Here's my vanilla system files: << hmm. looks okay, although hi highly recommend buffers=40 and files=40. might also want to add a shell=c:\dos\command.com /p /e:512 statement to your CONFIG.SYS. reboot after mods and let me know what happens. >> I had never use the tile ink. Worked great, thanks! << glad to read it. -dave
