DiskANIM appeared on the Amiga+ disk that accompanied the Oct/Nov '89 issue of the Magazine. It is part of a bigger software package called Tass, and stands for something like THUT Application Software System, and was written by: THUT Inc. 34 King St. E. Suite #802 Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5C 1E7 Phones: (705) 737-5998 BBS: (705) 737-5017 FAX: (416) 366-5966 DiskANIM not only plays ANIMs from disk, it also has the ability to "add additional ANIM frames to the end of any ANIM file". Unfortunately I'm suffering from a very severe case of too-small-a- harddrive-blues, and haven't been able to clear off enough space to give DiskANIM a try. Actually the whole Tass system looks interesting. It is a huge distribution of stuff. It includes a sharable REXX library that apparently has lots of neat stuff for building intuitionalized (did I invent that word? 8-) rexx programs. I don't know what its distribution status is, but I suspect it was some sort of an exclusive thing between THUT and Amiga Plus, and that DiskANIM is not freely distributable. Jim
