I appreciate Ken taking the time to post the ANIM spec here.  However,
discussions are still under way on BIX regarding possible additional
corrections to be made. Carolyn is checking into these, and the corrected
ANIM spec will be posted to comp.sys.amiga at that time.

Posting of the corrected ANIM will occur as quickly as possible.  In the
meantime, I'd suggest you proceed with caution.
