I have two Spectrum animations:  one of those desk toys with the little  
pendulum balls swinging (and reflections moving with them), and four atari 
color monitors each with a different moving display (one even has a vertical 
hold problem!!).  I have no idea how they were done.  The viewing program I 
posted to atari.archive (showspec.arc, I think I called it) has an option to 
show these animations.  They appear to be mulitple spectrum pics with a 
sequencing file.  If you do not have these animations, and they are not 
on atari.archive somewhere, let me know and I will arc and post them.  These 
are two of the first demo's I ever got.  Remember "Shiny Bubbles"?  That one 
sold a lot of Atari's!  The two spectrum animations are of the highest quality.
