# :D ha!
(side note, i've got 8 frames and no animation software, anyone wants to lend a hand?)

# if the frames are complete you can compile them together into a gif in gimp
first go to mode:indexed, then go to scripts:optimise for gif (animation) and it'll pop up a new file with them all sitting there more or less optimised. save it as a gif (which involves further telling it in the dialogue that pops up to save as an animation rather than merging the layers -- the gimp's interface is almost insufferably shit), and then you can tweak the layer timings in the layer dialogue box, wherever that's hidden in your version of the gimp. (on mine it's under dockable dialogs, which is under some menu or other on the top right.)

i don't know how to use a decent animation program :(

# Animation Shop -- it says 30 day evaluation, but it lasts forever ;)
download.oldapps.com/Paint_Shop_Pro/Paint_Shop_Pro_50.exe
if you want, only install the animation shop program.
it is drop-dead easy to use

# All the pros use Microsoft GIF Animator.
It's about 250kb of awful. I like it. It's simple like Paint.

# if you link it, they will optimise
i didnt mean that it would be automatic, i was quoting a line from 'Field of Dreams'. I meant that someone might optimise it for you if u link it
