Transverse flow has been studied as a function of impact parameter for pions and protons from the reaction 1.15A GeV {sup 197}Au+{sup 197}Au. We observe an {open_quotes}antiflow{close_quotes} behavior for both {pi}{sup +} and {pi}{sup -} in peripheral collisions. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
