I have written the following animation demos.  I took bit maps from my SUN
SPARCstation SLC which has a demo of this animation.  The following demos
are included:

================================================================================
    DESCRIPTION             # OF FRAMES      COMMENTS                PROGRAM
    ----------------------  -----------   -------------------------- -------
1.  A boy running.              4         NOT VERY GOOD                BOY
2.  A man walking.              5         GOOD                         MAN
3.  A horse galloping.          5         GOOD                         HORSE
4.  An eye opening/closing.     12        GOOD/Some Duplicate frames   EYE

All GROBs (frames) used are 64 x 64 taken directly from the SUN demo.

I have taken the demo of a man walking (2. above) and expanded it in the
following programs:

   PROGRAM                        DESCRIPTION
   -------     --------------------------------------------------------------
1.  OVLAP      Walks a man across the screen to a random distance overlapping
               the current PICT in a non-destructive manner (Except for the
               final position of the man).
2.  erase      Walks a man across the screen to a random distance erasing
               everything along the way.
3.  Terase     Walks a man across the screen to a random distance temporarily
               erasing everything in its path until the last couple of frames
               at which time the PICT which was there previously is replaced
               along with the man at his last position.
4.  NEAT       Executes Terase 10 times.

After transfering the binary file to the HP48, go into the ANIMATE directory
and execute SETUP.  This will uncompress the GROBs (using UPGROB by Erik
Bryntse), set up the menus, and delete the current PICT to ensure that
the PDIM is #64d x #131d.

[Note: Richard's original program used Erik Bryntse's old, buggy version
 of UPGROB.  I updated all the GROBs to the new PGROB format (see
 PGROB.DOC on this disk), and shrank the SETUP program.  The rest is
 untouched.  -jkh-]
