- ~~~~~~~~~
- There was no DOC-file with this when I got it, so the following text was
- extracted from the program itself with "MakeEDable", then edited.
-
- ~~~~~~~~~
- Usage: ShowANIM [-L] [-C] [+#] filename [filename ...]
-
- -L# Non-continuous loop play # times
- Default is 32000 loops
- -C# Continuous loop play # times
- -B# PingPong - forward/backwards loop play
- (XOR ANIMs only)
- +C Turn on color cycling
- +# Force timing of # jiffies.
- e.g. +6 for 10 frames per sec
- +F# Extra timing in jiffies on first frame
- +L# Extra timing in jiffies on last frame
-
- Press [ESC] or [CTRL]+[C] to terminate...
-
- It also looks like "ShowANIM" can now take multiple filenames as
- arguments and play them in the requested sequence.

- The following are references to the new icon-driven usages of "ShowANIM":
-
- Project Icon ToolTypes:
-
- LOOP=# Non-continuous loop play # times
- CONTINUOUS=# Continuous loop play # times
- PINGPONG=# Forward/backwards loop play # times
- (XOR ANIMs only)
- TIMING=# Force timing of # jiffies.
- e.g. +6 for 10 frames per sec
- FIRST=# Extra timing in jiffies on first frame
- LAST=# Extra timing in jiffies on last frame
- CYCLING=ON Turn on color cycling
-
- Press [ESC] or [CTRL]+[C] to terminate...
-

- I have included an icon (ANIM.info) which I made a while back and have
- adapted to the new system. It expects "ShowANIM" to be in the C: directory
- (Default Tool = C:ShowANIM) - but this can be changed with the WorkBench
- menu item "INFO".
-
- That seems to be about it... please let me know if I missed anything!
