Anyway, here's the question.  All of the animations I want to edit are in .ank format, but I have no idea what program runs them.  Or if I even need to go into it to work it.  Help anyone?

another flashing chance at bliss, another kiss, another kiss...
The days are bright, and filled with pain, enclose me in your gentle rain.

It states that:
- ANK files are ordinary text files renamed to *.ANK.
- You can edit ANK files with any Notepad-like application or by using Aston GUI (click the plus button when editing object properties)
