Oooops!

damn ... this don't work!

the variable in the 'for' loop should be FRAME not FRAMES

... i wrote this at work during lunch and re-wrote it, without looking,
from memory ...but didn't check it here :(

fortunately no-one tried it ... else they'd bleat about it

[ps] printf will work also if its on your machine ... but its not
     included in all unix distributions

[][ guess i'll have to go back to double-checking everything again
