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 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
