CIRCLE.FLI
CREATED BY: AHMAD ALMAZIAD
JANUARY 1993
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi! welcome to the Circle.fli program. I created this program
to impress my friends when they boot my computer. Even though the
movie is very simple but you could enjoy the comments form your
friends when you start your computer with Circle.fli
REQUIREMENTS:
=============
No special hardware is required for this program.
In terms of software you need AAPLAY.EXE from AUTODESK which
is available in most BBS's (including EXECPC). You also need an editor
to change the number of loops and the speed of the movie as will be
discussed later on.
FILES INCLUDES:
===============
CIRCLE.FLI.........The movie
CIRCLE.TXT.........Script file to run Circle.fli
CIRCLE.BAT.........A sample batch file
READ-ME.DOC........The one you're reading now
GREY.FLI...........Another movie
Please include all the previous files when distributing this
program.
WHAT IS CIRCLE.FLI
==================
It is a movie of 35 GIFs that I made and currently run every
time I run or boot my computer.
HOW TO USE CIRCLE.FLI
=====================
If you would like to watch circle.fli, follow these steps:
1. Start AAPLAY.EXE and using the mouse click on
FILE then click on FLI.
2. If Circle.fli resides in the same directory,
click on it in the screen to your left.
Otherwise, change the directory to where
Circle.fli resides and click on it.
3. Click on OK button.
4. adjust the speed of the movie witch is to the
left of your screen. 0 Being the fastest and
116 being the slowest. I recommend a speed between
3 and 9. Sit back and enjoy it.
Another way is to watch Circle.fli is to load Circle.txt. The
procedure is very similar to the previous one.
1. Start AAPLAY.EXE and using the mouse click on
FILE then click on SCRIPT.
2. If Circle.txt resides in the same directory,
click on is in the screen to your left.
Otherwise change the directory to where
Circle.txt resides and click on it.
3. Click on OK and sit back and enjoy it.
The last way to watch Circle.fli which is the suggested way,
is to include Circle.bat in your autoexec.bat, follow these steps:
1. Place Circle.txt and Circle.fli in the
directory where AAPLAY.EXE resides. Then place
Circle.bat in you main "C:" directory.
2. The Circle.bat file included assumes that
AAPLAY.EXE resides in C:\FLI if different
please edit Circle.bat and make the necessary
changes.
3. Add this line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
CIRCLE.BAT
4. Reboot your computer.
5. To terminate the movie, press any key.
CHANGES TO CIRCLE.FLI
=====================
When you edit Circle.txt, you'll see the following line:
circle.fli -L4 -S4
-L4 refer to the number of loops for Circle.fli to take. -S4 refers
to the speed of the movie. Change these values if you are not
comfortable with them. Please refer to AAPLAY.DOC for more
information on the speed and loop operations.
GREY.FLI
========
Grey.fli is another movie with some changes to Circle.fli.
To run this fli, follow these steps:
1. Copy Circle.bat to the same directory as Grey.bat.
2. Copy circle.txt to the same directory as Grey.txt.
3. Edit Grey.bat and change Circle.txt to Grey.txt.
4. Edit grey.txt and change Circle.fli to Grey.fli.
5. Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT and change Circle.bat to Grey.bat.
6. Reboot your machine. Sit back and watch.
