Hi mathemagicians

When I produce a lot of animated gifs (about 40 in a session) the front end
runs out of memory, while the kernel continuous to calculate and save the
gif's. The resulting gif's are not without errors after the front end has
stopped, so I need to find a way to use less memory. I have tried to avoid
drawing each single graph of the animation by:
    << Graphics`Animation`;
    AnimatAMM = Table[ParametricPlot[..., DisplayFunction->Identity], {t, 0,
2\[Pi] , \[Pi]/5}];          Export["Filename.gif", Show[AnimatAMM,
DisplayFunction->$DisplayFunction],          ConversionOptions -> {"Loop" ->
True}]];
but this only produce an ordinary gif with all single graphs superimposed.

How can I avoid this problem (running Math4.0 on NT 4.0, 128 Mb ram).

John
