Autodesk has a Windows player called WAAPLAY.  Included in the package is a
dll and documentation for using the dll via C.  I think I've seen it on
wuarchive and elsewhere (try phoenix.oulu in the /pub/other_animation_stuff
directory, look for waaplay.zip).  Shouldn't be too hard to convert to TPW
(maybe :-)  ).  It's also available directly from Autodesk in a developers 
kit.  Your other alternative is to write your own - I've seen the .FLI 
format posted here and there.  Try asking in comp.graphics.animation ...
