- First of all there is no Public Domain solution that I am aware of. There
- are some non-public domain ways to ease this problem.. You mentioned
- Animator Pro. Yes that will convert ANIM files into PC .fli files. This
- utility doesn't support all amiga resolutions, nor does it support HAM
- mode files..
-
- The easiest solution would be to buy Deluxe Paint IIe for the PC and also
- buy the companion program Deluxe Paint Animation program. They should let
- you work in at least lores with 256 colors. You can load these files also
- into DPAINT IV with no problems.. Features etc. DPaint IV has a lot in
- common with it's PC counterpart. The lady who took over DPAINT programming
- (Lee Taran) also did coding on the PC product as well..
