How to use
~~~~~~~~~~
FLItina is designed for CLI-Usage. If You start it from Workbench, no
options are available. Copy the file 'FLItina' to 'C:' and type
'FLItina ?'. This will display all options available:
FILE/M,L=LOOPS/K/N,FS=FORCESPEED/K/N,R=RESOLUTION/K/N,QUIET/S:
FILE:
Simply the name of the *.FLI-File you want to see. If no
Filename is entered, a Filerequester will appear. AmigaDos-
styled pattern-matching is also supportet.
LOOPS:
How often the animation will restart. Disabled in this unre-
gistered version.
FORCESPEED:
Overrides the animspeed given by the *.FLI-file. If it's set to
zero the anim is played as fast as possible.
RESOLUTION:
This forces FLItina to open the Retina-Screen in a custom size.
RESOLUTION must be one of these: 320, 640, 800, 1024, 1280. If
your choosen resolution is lower than the width of the
Flic-File, the program will break with an error. The effect of
this option isn't the same as it is in the Picasso-version: If
you've choosen the same Resolution as defined in your default
8-Bit Monitor, the animation will be displayed in the middle of
the Screen instead in the upper left corner. To see the anim in
other Resolutions you have to change your default MonitorID.
QUIET:
Skips all Outputs to Stdout and the delays at the beginning.
Useful for scripts.
If your default 8-bit MonitorID has a lower resolution than the
FLC-file requires or you've choosen by the RESOLUTION option, FLItina
returns the error 'Can't open Screen'.
This unregistered version will wait a few seconds before it starts its
work!
