Hi all... this is an appeal to all of you Fantavision users out there...
I have made a few short little movies/animations using Fantavision and
it struck me that i would lke to see what other people have done...
so if you have anny animations, i would love to see them and possibly
(probably if there is enough response) compile them all into one
executioner file for distribution... thanks....

I own Fantavision GS. It's a great program for animation! But I am not too familiar with the file compression programs which are used by the people on this newsgroup. Basically, what is Blu? What is the Executioner? And how can I get access to these utilities.

I don't know what Executioner is, but I presume it's a program that packs disks...Blu is a program like that too, but it packs many FILES into ONE FILE... However, the most widely used Packer that I know of is DDD, which stands for Dalton's Disk Disintegrator....Recently, there has been a new revision of it put out that is in ProDOS...It's called DDDPro, and will pack any type of disk (3.5,5.25, I also presume something like a Ramdisk if you WANTED to)... You should be able to get it on any local Apple bulletin board which has transfers...Almost ANYONE that does up/downloading in the Apple world as a hobbyist probably knows what it is and where you could get it. Just look around...

Executioner is not a program like DDD... it converts (and maybe packs) prodos files into prodos textfiles which can be 'exec'ed to produce the original file (filetype included)... it is primarily used for micro -> mini/mainframe and mini/mainframe -> micro... DDD on the other hand packs whole disks into binary files for transfer between two apples... now for a question... anyone know of any legitimate use of DDD?? are there really any Apple pds BBS's out there? -paul __ | Paul Nakada '89 #8-) | North House | ihnp4!think\ nakada@husc4.HARVARD.EDU Harvard College | seismo>!harvard!husc4!nakada.UUCP Cambridge, MA 02138 | rutgers/ nakada@husc4.BITNET 617/498-6263 || 7110 | __|

1. I wish I knew of a 'local Apple bbs that permits transfers'; most of the apple boards locally have bitten the dust. Usenet and CIS are the only sources of new public domain software that I am aware of. 2. Executioner is a compression into text program by Glen Bredon, author of Merlin, Pro-Commander, ProSel, Crypt, etc. Basically it takes a prodos file, encodes it's file attributes and contents into a short machine language decompression exec and series of text data lines. One then exec's the resulting file and in turn gets a prodos file on their disk. Note that it works well in conjunction with BLU, which is a program similar in concept to the IBM arc command. Prodos or DOS files and their file attributes are archived togeter. The current generation of BLU allows Hoffman(Huffman?) compression. -- Larry W.
