Hi.

  I am desperately trying to write some sort of routine that will quickly
  and cleanly page-flip through a bunch of GIF's to make an animation.
  Nothing seems to be working! It's either too slow or too jerky.

  I would really like to take all the GIF's and string them all together
  like in Autodesk's .FLI format. But I can't seem to do it! Right now
  I have an assembler routine that displays one lightning fast from a 
  .COM file. I use a batch file to read in every frame successively. It
  is nice and fast but the prob is that it's too jerky. On return to DOS
  (int 20h) the screen flashes. This is enough to ruin the whole animation!
  
  Can anyone offer suggestions to build on this or does someone have an
  easier way to do it?

  Can you write an assembler routine to store all the images in memory
  then recall them or can you pack them all in like the .FLI format?
  Someone please help me! I'm dying to get this to work!!!

  Thanks!
