it wouldnt matter if you found it; the coupon is now out of date. I
know as our new Yaroze arrived with it and I just laughed at the out
of date coupon. Seemed to sum up some of the Yaroze experience (grin)

I use dynamic tmds (if you think they are a pain then have a look at
adventure game) for everything except the characters. Obviously it
isnt intuitive + stuff like a proper package but you can do various
things with them (email me if you want more info)

Craig graham has kindly put up RsdAnim which sounds like it should be
what you want. Still havent checked it out myself but this weekend I
promise!
