  Recent versions of netscape are said to support animated png. Old versions

 Uh, the latest version of Netscape, 4.7 does not handle transparency in
 pngs at all, so I would assume that it would not handle animation
 either.
 
 To be honest, I didn't think you could create an animated png...

Uih, yes. We were talking about transparency, my fault.

That's okay, it prompts a question to the list.  I understand that there
is work underway to create an animated png format.  Does anyone know
who's doing this work and how it's going?  Since I am in the US and use
GIMP for all my graphics, I'm subject to litigation if I create gifs
with GIMP.

Netscape does not properly handle transparency in png images.  We spent
hours trying to figure this one out.  Finally looked at one of the
images with IE and the transparency worked.

I stand corrected, png will not do animations but transparency pngs can
be view
not with netscape but with mozilla (the future netscape 5)  it's fairly
stable
and small 5MB or so.   www.mozilla.org
