I Appreciate the offer, and you probably should publish for people looking for a 
fade solution, but I'm really looking for a full shape and color morph. I have 
an old program which I pulled off a Win98 machine which did a pretty good job, 
but it uses gif format, won't run under wine, and generally is pretty 
impractical other than as a proof of concept.

I'm surprised at the lack, I'll keep looking. Search turned up a number of 
things which sounded hopeful but had serious issues between the description and 
the performance.

Thanks for the pointer.
