[alt.msdos.programmer] Q: GRASP

  Does anyone here have any experiences (good or bad) with Paul Mace's 
GRASP?  Im interested in what may or may not be possible with it beyond
what the 1 page flyer says about it (not very informative but somewhat
helpful none the less).  Are there any caveats that I should know about
or any pitfalls to be aware of up front?
  I recall finding a package called Maxine Headboom (or Headroom or 
something similar) a while back which featured rapid playback of a series
of digitized frames.  I seem to remember seeing GRASP mentioned as well
but Im not too sure.  Can anyone tell me if GRASP was used for this or
if it can be used to play back digitized frames on a PC?

Yes.  GRASP is cool beyond belief.  It's like BASIC combined with a paint
program, and an animator.  No line numbers, of course.

Yes, all the good X rated animations are done under GRASP.
