If anyone wants to see an animated map produced with SAS/GRAPH and its
animated GIF driver, send me a note.  The map illustrates the changes in
AIDS-related hospital admissions in NYC at the zip-level from 1982 through
1998.  Each frame is a 3-month moving average of the number of admissions,
with only 6 frames per year to ut down on file size (every other month is
skipped).

It's pretty easy to do this with SAS/GRAPH.  The real problems are:  #1
finding a problem where time/space considerations are worth studying;  #2
once #1 is settled, assembling the data.
