(Deluxe Paint III like) animation paint system for UNZ(FM-TOWNS emulator)

スイカの行進 スイカの行進

20 years ago, I used Amiga500,Amiga4000,X68000 and FM-Towns(This program).
Original source skelton is 'Turbo Graphics (PC-9801) by Anzai Tosihiro' and
'Computer Graphics (SMC-777) by Anzai Tosihiro' .

recently, UNZ(FM-TOWNS emulator) was upgrated, and can running 'EMM386.EXE'.
so, I can update (& bugfix) this program.

in the future, I want to run this program on DOSBOX(& TP7).
and, use 256color(or, mix multiple 16color-anims to 256color-GIFAnim).
but I don't have VGA know-how....(T_T).
(once at a time, I bought Delphi3 for windows. and, I was discouraged.)
