I recently upgraded an amiga 2000 with a GVP 40Q hardcard to use the fast file system on one partition. Now, showanim does not work properly; garbage appears all over the animations. This even happens when I run the animations on a partition with the normal file system. It seems that if FFS is even in memory, showamin freaks out. Can someone tell me where and how I can get a new version that will work with the fast file system? -- Marshall Levine mplevine@phoenix.princeton.edu

I have a friend who has the GVP 2000/0 with a quantum 40q and GVP informed him/us that for each partition on your drive the controller allocates 80K of ram. That is probably your problem. It caused us a lot of grief at one time. We ended up reformatting the drive with only one partition to get most 1M required demos to work. Hope this helps Opusii Kendall "Opusii" Sears KRSEAR01@ULKYVX.bitnet ...!psuvax!ulkyvx.bitnet!KRSEAR01 (UUCP) K.SEARS (GEnie) --------------------------------------------------- "VIC's LIVE...

It's Public Domain, and is available on PeopleLink, and most reputable local BBSs. You might also try the Play program that comes with Delexe Paint III. BTW, Display and Play allow you to run from an icon and exit properly. I've been hearing about problems with reading and writing ANIMs across FFS partitions. I'm going to be looking into this more. If anyone knows what causes this, and how to fix it, I'd really like to know.
