So, we know that an expanded (presumably non-standard) Atari ST can display
oodles of colors. Can you _animate_ something at that resolution, and with
that many colors?

How about import the file into a word processor?
Or do RGB separations?

And still run an image compression program for animation in the background?
Use sound files for sound with your animation?
NTSC compatable?
Use a standard, widely accepted file format that is well documented?

If not, it's basically a neat trick, and nothing more.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't sit here and watch this any longer without
commenting.

Incidentally, when I mean standard, I mean something that can be bought
from Atari, or something that Atari officially recognises and gives their
blessing.
