Well, I downloaded PD, installed mono-complete and gtk-sharp2. I fire
it up with 'mono PabloDraw.exe' and lo and behold, I've got a working PD on my best desktop.
Time to start ansifying some things :)
Nice, I use PD and TheDraw but that pends on what I am doing. I had not read all the docs on PD for doing animation, might have to do that sometime. :P

Pablodraw doesn't do animation. Depending on what you're actually using animation for (ie: are you making animated ansis? Or are you just trying to put the cursor somewhere or make little things happen on a regular
ansi like text placement, etc?).. but FYI, everything I've done with Mystic has never needed animation. That's why it's great that Mystic has the X/Y coordinates, delays, etc. You can just open up the ansi in a
text editor, add like one line of a bunch of garble that Mystic understands, and have scrolling text on an ansi.. or whatever you want
to do, really.

One of the things I do is re-made the ANSIQUOT which was an animation originally and worked well. So I did the same thing with TheDraw, never tried to do the same with PD cause the other option is not to just auto clear clear and to be able to save using an option like HOME or NONE. Again never finished reading everything on PD maybe it can. :P
So for instance, your ANSIQUOT menu has like 3 MCI codes or something in the middle of the ansi. You can draw the template you want to use, and then edit it with a text editor, go to the very last character in the file, and add pipe codes for X/Y coordinates, followed by your MCI code. Mystic will interpret that, locate the cursor to where you tell it, and process the MCI code. I haven't needed animation in the 10+ years I've used Mystic (on and off). Now that I'm used to it, it's actually MUCH easier, since it's pretty simple to mess up an animated ansi. An accidental spacebar or something will ruin the whole thing, and you have to start all over. :)
