Any and all help & source code that you can give me is sincerely appreciated. The special effects are: 1)showing one PICT picture (or a line of text) and then dissolving that picture (or text) to show another picture (or text) beneath it. 2)expanding a line of text inside a window, making it seem to explode. One way to do this would be to just keep changing the font size (10, 12, etc). Is there a better way? 3)the "Star Trek" effect, like in LightSpeed C's About... box. Please post replies to the net, as I'm not sure mail will get to me and I'm sure other programmers are interested in these issues also. If you want to try mailing me stuff, try the following addresses: hpcid!tedj@hplabs.COM or tedj@hpcid@hplabs.COM or tedj@hpcillm.dtc.hp.com Thanks! Ted Johnson (408)553-3555
