	Say, anyone want to give me a quick explanation of how to do
sprite animation?
	I actually have code out the wazoo, and yes i can and have
broken it down (eight pages of pure assembler - yuch!) with highlighters
underlines and all, but even though i can do it, it seems hard to describe
in theory. 
	So could someone just explain the basics like step one, find a way
to do this, two do this kinda thing, etc?
	Also, i have quite a few sprite techniques/pages of code, and
can't quite figure out if they're all similar or substantially different in
most regards. Is there only one good way to do animation, or are there
several different techniques?
	And for the non-IBMers, I would LOVE a description of how other
platforms do graphics, specifically the amiga (i kinda know how to do the
mac already)
	Oh yeah, my basic understanding so far - load image from disk
(haven't found a good way to store and recall images though) and place into
a virtual page (high stuff uses pointers but i don't see a way just to 
store this stuff in a pointer without actually putting the image on 
some of the screen memory). Then, when animating, check your index of
images to see where this image is and copy it onto the visible region of the
screen (ok, copy it to a page then make that the visible region - some people
page flip back and forth, others use teh extra page(s) as scratch paper
then move the whole screen over).
	And see, i never had to talk about byte aligning, bit masking or
loading latches (try explaining that to an editor someday :( )
