The ANIM specs (document) was written almost completely by Gary Bonham of
Sparta.  This is THE official document.  C-A mainly just distributes it.
Make sure you check the revision date at the top of the document.  The new
one is dated 17 March 1988.  If you are planning on writing ANIM files,
use ANIM op 5, this is the new format that Videoscape 2.0 uses.  There may
be some typo and misinformation corrections before it's distributed at 
DevCon, or maybe not.  Keep in mind, there wasn't a whole lot of proof
reading involved with this thing.
