Are there any programs, commercial or otherwise, that run on the
IBM PC, utilize the EGA, and do basic animation tasks? The purpose is to
create animated 'comic books' for research on perception in young children.
Any cost, hardware specifics, capability info etc. will be appreciated, and
if I get enough replies I will, of course, summarize for the benefit of all.

Have you considered using a program like EGApaint to create the parts and then a QuickBASIC program to do the animation? I got an animated Christmas card this year, and the ability to go screen=>memory and memory=>screen is enough to do a *lot* of animation. QB supports the 640x350 resolution in both 16 color and mono modes, and is reasonably structured (or at least allows reasonable structures). Disclamer: I am not a heavy BASIC user, I just used QB on an XT to display fractals on the EGA, which were (obviously) calculated elsewhere. I may have the only XT in the world with an 3081 and Cray2 for a coprocessor! -- bill davidsen sixhub \ ihnp4!seismo!rochester!steinmetz -> crdos1!davidsen chinet / ARPA: davidsen%crdos1.uucp@crd.ge.com (or davidsen@crd.ge.com)
