  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

  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.
