Well, I was sort of impressed with this, but I really wish that the poster had said it was really "AniDemo" (or whatever the program's called) plus a data file. When she said that it was a ray tracing program for the GS, I thought she meant a program where we could BUILD some sort of an "object" and then say where the light source was then actually havze it ray trace the picture.. or something similar to that even if it was much less capable. Unless I'm totally missing the boat, this is simply page swapping and the large file is simply a data file containing the frames to be switched. It's still interesting, but not at all what it was said to be. I might not have spent all of the time sciibining it, downloading it, unshinking it, and running it had I known what it really was. No horrible travesty or anything, I just hope that programs are given a better description in the future, especially the ones with NO description [all of the ones with some ~5-10 line header that seems to me should be removed]. -- If you want info about a 20 meg "floptical" drive mail me.
