!Morphing/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

The Acorn User Morphing Suite By Robin Barnes Note: The Morph and Animator applications need the ColourTrans to work. Risc OS 2 users should ensure that the System folder has been seen by the Filer before using the morphing suite. Run this application to open a directory containing the complete Acorn User morphing suite. Morph is the main morphing application. It takes two sprites and creates a sequence of sprites which make up the morph between the two sprites. Convert takes these sprites and saves a Movie file, which can then be played back by Animator. The Example directory contains two sprites - Initial and Final - and a MorphData file for use with Morph. There is also an example Movie file (called MovieFile), which shows an example morph using the two sprites provided. Double-click on the Movie file to load it into Animator. Full instructions for each of the three application are included in the files Morph, Convert and Animator, and should be read in that order. � Copyright BBC Acorn User 1993
