the intent is fine, but the extent leaves a lot to be desired. the operation
mentioned works on a DECstation 5000, but any operation which causes an 
expose event is delayed 2 or 3 seconds while it plays. these were 8bit images
but considering the processor power difference, you should get the same with 
1bit ones
