Hello again… I see that the lightning AVI hasn't shown up in the library yet… the Sysop(s) are probably busy trying to take care of the flood of messages about the GIF situation. So, I thought I'd take the time to generate another demo, perhaps they'll both show up together. Look for "fire.zip" to appear in our library, a dynamic and visually beautiful effect in full motion, generated in just a couple of minutes on my laptop. This AVI, like the lightning AVI, is 320×200 so there's some detail there for you to see. Just for everyone's information, I noticed that there were _far_ more downloads on AVI's than on FLC's, so I have stopped uploading FLC's. If you look at the AVI, drop a note in the forum to let me know what you think. 🙂 Ben Williams

Hi, Jenee Burns is the Librarian and she usually places a file in the Library one day after it's uploaded…She doesn't work weekends… Please don't announce files for DL until they are present..It'll save members costs for looking for a file that's not there yet. Thanks. Bruce Herzog Forum Staff NY 08-Jan-95 at 5:31p EST

Hi Bruce… Sorry, bad habit from our Amiga support forum, where I control the section and merge the files myself. Has lead to an expectation of similar performance elsewhere when it's not appropriate. In this instance, I expect the AVI's will show up shortly. I certainly didn't mean to cause the members any hardship, most previous uploads have shown up within 12 hours. I will be careful not to mention future uploads until the file is visible to me. Since I have your ear, how about getting that extra "placeholder" file out of our library? The description said it would be deleted as soon as files were uploaded, but this has not happened and people are downloading it, I presume by mistake. Thanks! Ben Williams
