The problem could be that version of ShowANIM, I think the current one is
4.3 or 4.4.  Your version might be reading the wrong structure for the
bitmap size, and trying to allocate 2Megs of ChipMem (or something like
that).  Remember, to flip ANIM files, you need 3 bitmaps but only one of 
those in ChipMem.  

We just released a new version of our Display program (Public Domain) that
plays ANIM files.  It lets you freeze frame, single step, and change the
playback speed during playback.  You may find it on your local BBS's, or
on PeopleLink.  It's a little easier to use than ShowANIM, actually a lot
easier.  Hope this helps.
