	Did you get your demos from uxe.cso.uiuc.edu?  Some of them
(at least "Ripples") are damaged, and trying to ShowAnim them produces
this message.
	Do a "zoo l" on Ripples.zoo, and you will see that the file
"Ripples" should be over 600K.  When you extract it (zoo x), the file
is only ~300K.  I have reported the "Ripples" problem to the moderator
there.
