FLI2EXE v3.1 (C) Cyber-Design Ltd.
Written By: Alexey Zilber
-=1=-
FLI2EXE version 3.1 is a completely reworked
version of the previous version 2.0. Due to the many defects
is possed and it's growing popularity I created this version.
You will notice that the slide bars are gone, as well as the
grid on the right side. I opted for the byte by byte
counter, instead of the graph. This way you could actually
compare the size diffrences.
FLI2EXE compresses fli files created by the AUTODESK
ANIMATOR(tm). These files tend to be very large and need a
player of some kind. My program combines a powerfull
compression algorithm with a player, resulting in a self-
running pic player.
Upon start up, all you need to do is type in the name of
the fli you will be compressing. Then type the name of the
exe file you wish it to be made into.
If you misspell the fli name, tha status window will
display NO FLI! This means the fli file wasn't found. You
have to enter it again. If the status says NO OPEN! that
means that the exe file could not be opened, probably because
your HD was write protected, there was no room, or other more
serious error. As always we are not responsible for any
damages, malignant or benign that this program may cause you.
After you time on all the info, that status will display
HEADER COPY, that means it is creating the header of the exe
file. Then it will change to COMPRESSING, and the left most
window will display, in bytes the size of the file. The
center window will show the progress. And when it is finished
the last window will show the total, file size, with the
header.
Then you will be put in the ordering menu, pressing yes
will send a copy of an ordering form to PRN. Please have your
printer turned on, as problems may occur if it is off.
When running the compressed fli, notice that we have
added a command-line parameter, type: C:/>filename n
This will cause the full screen decompression window to be
turned off, and instead you will have a small, plain text
message declaring it to be decompressing, for people who are
annoyed by the full screen message. One again type n after
the compressed file, to turn off the message.

UPDATES & FIXUPS:
FLI2EXE v3.1 has a totally new compression, the old version
garbled data if the fli was too big. This has been fixed by
totally new compression.
We generally cleaned up any major/minor bugs.
We also respelled DECOMPRESSION, to ensure people don't
get offended by bad spelling.
And we added a command-line parameter for the header
file.
REGISTRATION:
Please register this version for $25, you will recieve
an updated version, registered in your name. Thank you!
