    I used El Macros to convert several Autodesk FLI animations to
Paintworks animation format.  I made a macro which would load in each
animation file into SuperConvert, save it as a $C1 screen and load in
the next one.  It would repeat forever.  That's the *only* thing I used
El Macros for.  It could only hit keys and pause (i.e., not much use in
a desktop environment).  It just so happens that you can convert
animation frames in SuperConvert using the keyboard alone, otherwise I
would have been stuck.  Knowing Jason, his macro program (am I allowed
to say the name?) will be a far superior product.
