Rats! and I spent all that effort bringing it down and setting it up!
BTW, do the same "Gotchas" go for MoebiuS, also, since its from the same
Italian group? ie: PAL only, undocumented disk label and all (just 1.5MB
instead of 2.5MB)?

I guess, our comp.{source,binaries}.amiga moderator needs to check out
animations somewhat more thoroughly than other  binaries... :-). Or at least
post a warning in clear about the poosible requirement of a PAL Amiga for
these animations.

PS: did you note the incredibly useful error-messages you get from the player?
