Animation:Flipper (from Hash Enterprises) will let you pack a bunch of
IFF pics together into an animation file.  Currently, it saves in our
own format which is a little different than ANIM (not a lot though), but
I've already made the changes to it to save in ANIM.  Martin is making
some other changes to it, so I don't know when it'll be out, but I'm sure
it'll be RSN :-).  Sorry, this program isn't Public Domain.  As for a 
program that pulls apart an ANIM file into IFF files, I don't know about any
specific program that does this, but I know how I'd do it.  You could 
probably use Grabbit (as long as your player program can freeze on a frame,
oh yeah ShowANIM doesn't do that).  Good Luck!
