Oliver, If BOING3 is compatible with Movie, typing movie boing3 should do it. Be sure to remember pathing is necessary (otherdisk:movie boing3 with boing3 being in the current directory) However, some animations are not movie-type, but run under SHOWANIM, a PD animplayer also available here (Kudos to Aegis Animator) If you have any further questions/problems, feel free to leave another message. Remember: both utilities are designed to be run from CLI. I also recommend downloading the ShowAnim file from here, as many of the animations run under it. Hope this helps, Doug p.s. Movie can be called using a project-type Icon attached to the anim file, and the one here may be newer than the one you have.

Oliver, make sure your stack is set to at LEAST 16000. You can check the stack by typing "stack" in the CLI. If it is less than 16000, type "STACK 16000" without the quotes. This will bump up your system stack. Now, CD to the disk with the MOVIE and anim, and type "Movie BOING3D.Anim", again without the quotes. GreG
