I recently got a copy of HBHill.anim and
I'm using ShowANIM 4.0 to show it. When I type
'showanim -C hbhill.anim' it loads, and displays
a still picture of a nice looking hill.
If I didn't have half-brite would the hill
look garbled? (it looks nice to me, so does
that mean I have EHB?)
Does this animation have any motion, or is
it just in ANIM format because ShowANIM 4.0
supports half-brite and the other programs
like ViewILBM do not?

No, if you had EHB you would see a dancing shadow of Fred Astaire in front of the hill. Sorry, looks like you are in the non-EHB camp. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.

The hill is just the background, if you have half-brite, There will be a dancer infront of the hill doing an interesting little step. It's quite neet, he is semi-transparent(hense half-brite), and on a machine with 1 meg or more, you can even run a version which plays music for him to dance to. If you only got the hill, EHB is not supported on your Amy.

I bought my Amiga1000 brand spankin new in August '87 which was after they just released the Amiga500 and Amiga2000. I didn't have any PD programs back then (during the 90-day warranty) so I couldn't test for EHB. From what I've read in this newsgroup about how only the ancient 1000s were non-EHB, I was quite confident that I was blessed with it. I admit it isn't such a big deal, but I just wish I knew during the warranty period. Do you think this would have been covered in the warranty? /// Eternally looking for /// Don Williams digitized pictures of \\\/// the NCC-1701-D ... \XX/ UUCP: drpwilliams@watmath.waterloo.edu

If you did, you would see a shaded Fred Astair dancing in front of the Nice Looking hill. -- *** mike (Cyberpunk in training) smithwick *** "live long and multi-task" [discalimer : nope, I don't work for NASA, I take full blame for my ideas]
