  I have xanim and xflick to *play* FLC files, but I have nothing to
*create* them.  The DOS world is full of things to make FLC with, but
the Unix equivalents seems to be elusive.

  Have I finally found something that I can do under DOS that I can't
do with Unix?  Please say it ain't so!  I can't stand the thought of
using FreeBSD and POV to create killer ray traces, and then resorting
to DOS just to make an animation of them.

  Someone on another group mentioned fbm2fli but I have NOT been able
to find it, although I have found a dozen copies of the fbm library
(which does not include fbm2fli).

  Any ideas are appreciated;  an ftp site would be wonderful!
