In article <11778@well.UUCP> I write:

	What I meant by this is that 2.5M is not enough RAM to create a
400-line ANIM file.  You can certainly create stills, which can be saved off
as individual IFF frames.  You could also use GrabANIM to take those
individual IFF frames and make an ANIM file out of it, once you quit
Videoscape.  However, this will be tedious.

>Doing HAM will also be a squeeze.  [ ... ]

	Again, with only 2.5M of RAM, you will be somewhat more limited in
your ability to create an ANIM file (you won't be able to load too many
complex objects).
