     Running under a BASIC driver, SuperPac can do 2-3 full-screen,
16-palette frames per second reading from hard disk. I haven't tried many
animations with partial screen updates; but, it should be 5 fps or better
for quarter-screen regions. Unpacking is pretty fast; so, the chief limit
is hard disk speed.
