---------------------
PURPOSE:
---------------------------------------------
MCAnim can play a LORES (DPaint) animation anywhere on a HIRES screen, with
one of nine colorbar-copperlists in any register. It was ment to be of use
for TV/video presentations, but it may be fun as well...
---------------------
USAGE:
-----------------------------------------------
> MCAnim <anim> [speed cop reg xpos ypos delay]
anim: name and path of any lowres (max 16 colors) DPaint animation.
speed: a number (0-9), where 0 is fast: 50 (or 60) frames per second.
cop: a number (0-8), nine different copperlists.
reg: the register (0-15) the copperlist is placed in; 16 makes it
invisable.
xpos: 17 different horizontal positions: 0 (left) - 16 (right). -1 means
center.
ypos: 20 vertical positions: 0 (top) - 19 (down). A value of -1 puts the
animation in the middle.
delay: since MCAnim "forbid"s, any reads from diskette will leave that
motor turned on. The default is 180: wait 3╜ (3) seconds before
"forbid". Make this 0 when played from harddisk.
