Ralph: a NeXThoax movie
by Christopher Penrose  3:30am - 6:30am Thursday January 23, 1992

This sequence was the result of Jersey insomnia -- that should be
excuse enough for a graduate student.  I used TopDraw to manipulate
the character objects.  I slept every night like I had been
sledgehammered when I was back in Cali - I hope this restlessness
isn't the result of the booming pharmaceutical industry in NJ.

Ralph's political message is not intended to be satirical.  It can be
taken in earnest. Use your pencil in the next election.

The movie is contained within Ralph.tiff; it is a collection of 114
frames coerced into sequential cohabitation with the tiffutil program.
My preferred Ralph dove-tail speed is approximately 20 frames per
second.  If you use Patrick Flynn and company's Movie-2.0 application
to view this; try viewing one of their *.anim movies first.  There
seems to be a bug that prevents *.tiff movies from getting a control
window if the *.tiff movie is loaded first. Movie-1.0 works fine.  If
you do use Movie-2.0, try using the bounce mode - I think that this
makes for the best viewing of this movie.  Cool program guys!  We should
talk about sound support.

This movie is implicitly in the public domain - like all other
information - books, music, software etc.  You can send me ugly
*.tiffs or *.snds via NeXTmail if you feel a need to compensate,
thank, or hurt me in return.  If you don't like them -- chances are I
will.

Sorry - but I don't have a colour machine in my home.  This movie uses
2-bit grayscale.  Maybe next time.
