FutureSplash Animator is a multimedia graphics app designed to create
small, fast vector animations and illustrations that are not demanding
in terms of bandwidth. The program was developed in the mid-90s by
[FutureWave Software][1].

 * DL #1: 30 day trial version of FutureSplash Animator for 68k Macs
 * DL #2: 30 day trial version of FutureSplash Animator for Power
   Macs
 * DL #3: The original FutureSplash Player as a [Netscape Navigator
   2.0][2] Plug-In for 68k Macs

In January 1993, [Jonathan Gay][3], Charlie Jackson and Michelle Welsh
founded FutureWave Software. The company's first product was the
SmartSketch vector illustration program, which was initially available
only for PenPoint OS, then subsequently ported to the Windows and
Macintosh platforms.

In May 1996, FutureWave Software launched its second product called
FutureSplash Animator. The program enabled the creation of data-saving
vector animations that could be played on a website using the
FutureSplash Player plugin. In the web design community, FutureSplash
Animator gained considerable popularity in the months after that, and
animations created using this program soon appeared on MSN.com, Disney
Daily Blast, and The Simpsons' official website.

In December 1996, FutureWave Software was purchased by Macromedia.
FutureSplash Animator was rebranded and an improved version was
released in 1996 under the name [Macromedia Flash 1.0][4]. The name of
the new product was created by blending the words Future and Splash.
