I downloaded MOVIE.ARC and 2Balls.arc de-arced them both and when i tried to view the animation file it said i have a cleanup error 'cleanup error 3' i was wondering what it means because i think i have enough memory(512k) thanks lawrence neibauer

Dear Lawrence: I haven't downloaded 2Balls, but I thought it was a small animation. The cleanup error 3 message means that it ran out of memory opening the second (double buffered) screen. This is before it read more than the first image from 2Balls. Here are some things to try: set a stack size of 16000 or so, make sure that your memory is not tied up with multi-tasking or a big RAM disk. If all else fails, run it on a freshly rebooted machine with an unmodified Workbench 1.2, some resident PD utilities seem to conflict with movie. Let me know if it still fails and I will have a look at 2Balls, although I think that others have been running it OK. Eric

I ran it just fine. But I've got a 3 meg 2000. Even if I yanked the 2 meg board I can't get down to 512k. I do think it runs in 512k, I just can't test it.
