This version of XAnim was pulled because Cinepac received a patent for
their Quicktime compression and asked the author to remove it
(unfortunately, Cinepak compression is very good so most Quicktimes use
it). The author recently made available a precompiled object for Cinepak
compression for SunOS only, so you'll have to make arrangements for him,
if you'd like to see a NetBSD version. For the latest XAnim news, go to:
