It's got to be in the incoming/amiga/demos directory somewhere. It's 2 whole disks. Walker I is in there also I believe. -- Bob The Graphics BBS 908/469-0049 "It's better than a sharp stick in the eye!" ============================================================================ InterNet: bobl@graphics.rent.com | Raven Enterprises UUCP: ...rutgers!bobsbox!graphics!bobl | 25 Raven Avenue BitNet: bobl%graphics.rent.com@pucc | Piscataway, NJ 08854 Home #: 908/560-7353 | 908/271-8878

Maybe they got snatched up like the entire walker demo did. At least from
what I heard, lucasfilm said it was a no-no to distribute the thing.
Anyone know if the fate of the entire animation affected the two demos
as well? I could be wrong about the whole thing, but it's what a
friend of mine told me. Kinda makes sense since the demos have made
themselves pretty scarce. Is this rumor true? anyone?

I think that Lucasfilm said to the authors of the Walker demo to stop using the "Walker" in future animations. The two demos already made, however, were allowed to continue their existance on the public domain. In fact, both Walker demos are still available on Compuserve. The Walker II demo is available via ftp at ab20.larc.nasa.gov on directory /amiga/demos/traditional. Since there is so much interest on the Walker I demo (and it is not available in any FTP site I know), I'll upload it on ab20, on /incoming/amiga sometime this weekend. - chris c -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Christian Castor - cac5961@usl.edu or chris@usl.edu - CIS: 73030,2734 Plink: ChrisC - (318)232-2045 - Snail: PO Box 43402,Lafayette LA 70504 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I have the demos. If anyone is interested in them, let me know. I'll leave you
my address so you can send a SASE and disks.
