XAnim is an animation viewer (version 2.69.7.8)
at least 68020+WB2.04 is needed, but you don't need an X11 server running!
(Nor my libX11 link library..)

This is a port of the X11 animation viewer Xanim by Mark Podlipec.

Whats new: 
  The +Cn option (preserves workbench colors) fixed 
  (libX11 returned 8 bit color values but should have been 16 bit)
  ---
  + AVI  RGB depth 24 support added.
  + AVI XMPG support added. This is the Editable MPEG Video
  + IFF Anim8 support written by Garrick Meeker.
  + DL animation format thrown back in and now allows it to

Reported to work on:
Amiga 3000 with EGS Spectrum board (promoting XAnim)
Amiga 3000 with Picasso II (promoting Xanim)
Amiga 4000 native
Amiga 4000 with EGS Spectrum board (promoting XAnim)

Amiga 2000 with a Retina GFXBoard

So there is a slight chance it will work on others too!
