I have been having a small amount of success in my project to dynamically create animation GIF
files from still images. I have written a small single MS-DOS batch file which, when run,
automatically downloads images and then creates animations. Have a look and tell me if you find it
useful.

All I need to do now is to set up a scheduled task in Windows to run my batch-file at regular
intervals!
BEWARE. The GFS animation is about 3 MEG ! but I think it looks pretty cool*
I might have to shrink the image size or skip alternate frames or reduce the number of colours to
reduce its size .
Any ideas or suggestions ?

(* "cool" as in a forecast of some cold weather!)
