TV SHOW is great for banging out titles and slideshows in a hurry. However,
it has no support for playing compressed ANIM files, which limits the speed
and complexity of your presentations. I can't remember if the player that
comes with it can be freely distributed or not. I do know that I tried to
use it once, it didn't work properly, and I didn't have time to figure out
why. I usually just load up the edit program and use that. I'll go back and
take a look at it tonight, when I can go home and use my "real computer".

Incidentaly, thanks for the book. My work on my manual is coming along 
somewhat slowly, but it's getting there. Hopefully, it'll be done before   
Christmas :-).
