How do I save a file like the following:

so that it opens as a series of charts?

Technically, you don't. For several reasons. That is a demonstration
of an offered product. It has a specific player to display the images.
There are other reasonss, my mind just slipped.

However, press "stop" on the display. Click on the "first" button. Use
the right-click menu to save the image. Click on the "+1" button for
the next image, use the right-click button to save that image. Rinse,
repeat until you have saved the 13 images in that loop.

Then goodness knows what use that will be for you, but knock yourself
out.

And next time don't ask a dumb-ass question in the Windows newsgroup
if your question isn't Windows-related.

What is so dumb about the question? I t got an answer didn't it. And I'm
using Windows am I not? And the item was to be stored on XP wasn't it? And
this is the general board is it not?

And as for what I am to do with it well I will be looking to use the
information to try and save the lives of people in the USA one day. And they
pay for their copies of Microsoft software, last I heard.

If you have time on your hands and the tools, and get all the single
images, you could rebuild an animated gif image and put all the pieces
back together animated. It's the tool to do it that you need. Just
tossing that out. I'm not sure why you need the moving chart, but
that's up to you.

It is possible to do that with these quite easily:

Een opening them in tabs in a browser or by using the back button.

What you get is a track similar to the way cartoons are drawn. And you can
follow the tracks of a storm or Low Pressure Area. And the Highs too.

Seeing how they behave gives you a good idea what happens next:


Interesting harmonic with the quake in the Gulf of Guayaquil:

It is 60 degrees from where that High I was writing about in this
weeks spell, disappeared of the screen at:

Both North American sites are some 60 degrees from the Alaskan
Penninsula and Unimak Island. An Eureka moment?
