I have something that almost works, but ran into a few = problems/limitations. * I can=E2=80=99t seem to find a way to have an incrementing loop = counter in rc shell (best I could do is check the size of a growing list = variable) * The gif command barfs when the GIF is any larger than a few megabytes = due to an allocation error * I couldn=E2=80=99t think of a good way to name the image files so that = they can be sorted into the correct sequence as input to togif I=E2=80=99ll try banging my head on the solution again tomorrow. I=E2=80=99= m hoping that either it can be a one-liner of rc shell scripting or put = into a full utility script (e.g. recscreen) that anyone could use.
