screen capture software/animated gifs

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Jacque,
Are you saying you didn't need to insert any waits or send in times for the
gif to animate?  If so, I'm confused because the gif I'm using didn't
animate at all unless I gave up some cpu time with a wait.

I'm not managing frame counts or frame rates in any way though.
