I'm including a ReadMe file and AnimList at the end of this article
I'm not affiliated with AFIT or anything (wish I were, they seem to
be a cool user's group).  I've bought an Eric Schwartz video from
them and it was pretty cool.

You can also download some of these from ab20.larc.nasa.gov, 
hurry, while it is still up.  Grep through the FILES for Eric.
My favorite one is the StealthBomber.  The Stealthy Maneuver I & II are
also good, as are Camouflage, and ATF Agility.  I only have one meg
so I haven't seen any of his latest ones (requires 3 megs).
A new one has been put on hubcap.clemson.edu

                                                                Mar-92

        You've seen his animations and laughed your head off (hopefully
not to that extreme)!  Maybe you were lucky enough to get a copy of them,
but how many more of Eric Schwartz's animations are you missing?  Now
you can order any animation or his entire collection for a special low
price directly from the source.  Part of your payment goes directly to
Eric to help him through school and to buy newer software.

        The AFIT AUG (Air Force Institute of Technology Amiga User Group),
recognized by Commodore, is the home of Eric's animations, and we want
you to be able to see every one of his creative masterpieces.  To receive
an animation disk, you have a few choices: come to the AFIT AUG meeting
(on the second Saturday of every month) and copy everything for free with
$5 paid membership (and talk to Eric himself), download any animation from
AFIT AUG's BBS after paying a one-time $10 fee, or mail us an order with
payment enclosed.  When ordering by mail with the Orderform (with certified
check or money order), you will receive the requested disks in the mail ASAP.
These quality DS/DD 3.5" disks are formatted to the old-file-system and
guaranteed to be free of error.  Your satisfaction is guaranteed.

        Approximately one new anim is created every one to two months (more
in the summer).  If you'd like to pay in advance for future disks, mark the
appropriate lines on the Orderform.  Regradless of the number of other
disks ordered, subscription disks always cost $2.00 plus the normal
shipping fee if it applies.  The new disks will be sent to you as they
become available.

        If you would like the entire collection, send only $1.75 per disk
plus any normal shipping charge that applies.  There are currently 33 disks.
That results in $57.75 or $74.25 overseas.  If you order the entire
collection, subscription disks are also only $1.75 at the time of ordering.

        The animation disks are also available in bulk for retail sale.
If you would like more information about becoming an official distributor,
please mail the order form to us or drop Jon Smith a message on the AFIT
AUG BBS.  Thank you.

(HD) = embedded version for hard drive users

        Use the disk number(s) when ordering.
        Also, as of July 20, 1991, the Anti-Lemmin' Demo is fixed to work
on PAL and NTSC machines, and an embedded version is on disk ES008.  The
embedded version is the entire anim in a single file that can only fit on
a hard drive (or high density floppy), and will not run from a standard 880K
floppy.  However, no ASSIGNs are required, saving hard drive users time.  If
you order only disk ES008, be aware that it will only run from a hard drive
because of its size and also requires the freely distributable program
MoviePlayer.
        The Tor Anim will run on any machine, but my not be timed correctly
(too fast or too slow).  Versions timed for all machines are coming.
        The At The Movies anim on ES003 requires only 1 meg. of RAM.  A
version will soon be available that requires 2 meg.
        The embedded version of The Dating Game is on disk ES011.
        At the Movies 2 requires all four disks which consist of 5 versions
of the same anim:  one-megabyte RAM, two-meg., and three-meg. versions plus
two-meg., and three-meg. versions for accellerated machines.
        Eric now has one complete disk of IFF pictures he has drawn over the
years.  It is disk PX001.  This is the only disk that contains no animations.
