Viewing is not a priority. We need to figure out why 2 best systems in the world can't open those files right by default. Anarchy opens those files no problem.

I don't have any other laser vector art applications!

Maybe you should ask Bill Benner why it doesn't work in Pangolin!

I can tell you this much... If you use LaserBoy to make waves and play them from a DC modified sound card, you'd see the whole picture in the right colors.

Like what?

Hey I'm not complaining. Everything works wonderfully for me. I found a way around the problems. I import ILDA to Phoenix PicEdit then save it as CAT and then split the CAT into directory full of PIC files using LDS catalog mover by Thomas Lachmann (one of photonlexicon programmers) And then import to my system. On my system I do blanking, strait, and repeat optimization and then do /anchorcheck. Sounds too much work but only takes a minute. When I import the ILDA directly I'm getting what can be seen on picture. I can avoid that putting /BlankBack /ColorBack first allows blank control during conversion second allows color control during conversion. But I don't think Pangolin has that much import control. BTW most of other applications like Anarchy ILDA view and Picedit from LSD or Phoenix have no problem reading Laserboy export ILDAs.

I want to find a laser animation solution for everybody, not just myself.

Also I want people on different systems besides Pangolin test those ILDAs I posted.

Dr Laser, I have LDS also, and was wondering if that catalog mover was still available? Also, why do you think Lennart used CAT files to store frames instead of ilda files? I'm finding it tedious browsing through the CAT files looking for the frames that go with the analog clock animation.

Moncha makes a mess of it similar to pangolyn.
Mamba does something similar....

YEAH!

You're a good man, Dr Laser!

Anybody can get paint, some brushes and a canvas. That is how it should be.

There will always be masters of the artform. And they will be recognized.
