It does - you only get small ones on a CD, but an ARM 3 should cope with
others.  My ARM 600 is not that much better you know, the difference is
that it isn't doing the vidoe RAM work.

It was.

But this would be better:

REPLAY
A video file format, enabling the computer to play video clips, albeit
small ones.  Size (resolution) depending on processor and medium (i.e a CD
is only 300k per second).  Replay is similar to Quicktime on the apple and
better than AVI for the PC.  Replay is infact also capable of sound files.

Perhaps Not.

Quite hard to write, aren't they, these explainations.
