Thanks Al, I'm looking at this. Couldn't download your .gz example (the 
link is wrong) but I did find your script. I think I see the idea, and 
anyway I will study it very carefully. The stuff I'm doing is very 
filmstrip-like, in that I just want to show a succession of simple frames 
at different speeds, and sometimes backwards. I then sync the animation 
with a sound (I have a different sound for each speed - there is no way as 
far as I know to play sounds at different speeds except via QuickTime which 
I am not able to use). This part seems easy (it's always worked), so I have 
high hopes of this method.

I'll let the list know how I get on with this and other suggestions which 
have been made in the last few hours. It seems a strange route to have 
taken - from QuickTime to Animated GIF to DIY animation, but if it works 
I'm all for it!

Thanks again

Graham
