Hi Pete,  I would hazzard a guess that if you went to a web site with a
animated gif, then you could select "view source" (with Netscape). Then
you could copy and paste the html from there into your page. Then change
the names of the gifs listed in the html. Then upload your gifs to your
isp. Does that sound good?
Geocities has a flashing gif ad at the bottom of every page they have I
think. It seems like you could use that html to your wants? 
  I should buy Paint SHop Pro to try this out!
Take care, Jon Melusky
