Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. It Can Be Done under X. The SunMovie module of SunVision exists for just this purpose. Or you could brew your own using XGL. Both solutions will give you good performance with the GX graphics accelerator under OpenWindows. Contact your local Sun sales office for details of these products.

One source is on the ftp host titan.rice.edu under the directory sun-source. Get the kits for revision 1.2. This program runs under sunview and is quick with monochrome images. I haven't tried it with full colour. Peter Budgell peter@engrg.uwo.ca
