Hello Michael:

Here is a Knowledgebase article showing an approach to troubleshooting Animator problems:

kb.microfocus.com/article.aspx

Please follow the instructions, especially the "simple test" outlined in the beginning of the article.  Before proceeding, I would like to see this "sanity test" passed.    Notice also the points 1, 2, 3, and 4 outlining Animator's need for the source code, the compiled code, the .idy file, and the output terminal.

For Animator to look good, the screen must be sized 80 columns wide, and terminal emulation must be set in a reasonable state.  Consider this Knowledgebase article:

Try these things and let me know the results.   Also, enter these commands and paste the output into a reply on this forum:

cat $COBDIR/etc/cobver

uname -a
