;-) Not as-is. Most of his classic work were created with MovieSetter, an Amiga program. The freely distributeable player for these is also an Amiga program. I don't know of anything similar for the PC.

However, if you can play them on your Amiga, output them to video, then read them back in with, say, a Toaster, you may be able to capture the output and save it, frame by frame, to disk. Next, use any of the utilities on Aminet that can create .avi, .mov, .mpg, etc. files from a series of still images. The resulting movie should be playable on a PC.

:-( It's the long way around, but it seems to be the only way.

From the page of one of the anims:

MovieSetter file converted with SET2ANIM 0.4
© 1999 Daniel Mealha Cabrita

;-) If you find a copy of SET2ANIM, you should be able to convert the MovieSetter files yourself.

I was going to say that you could probably ask ES to distribute converted versions. But, I remembered that he is a BIGtime Amigan and would probably be offended by the notion. Worth a try, though, emailing him about it.

A Friend of mine who used to run an Amiga BBS, has links to a PC player and where to get the animations from on his web site.

MultiShow plays Amiga ANIMs, IFF ILBM and IFF 8SVX files on PCs, Macs or other platforms supporting Java.

You can download converted Eric Schwartz ANIMs here (look for the download link at the bottom of the page).
