OVERVIEW:
The Movie Editor is a suite of programs for creating, editing and playing back
movies on an IBM PC. Medit.exe is a program for creating PC text screen movies
from frames created by external applications. Each frame is a 4000 byte 80 x
25 character screen shot containing both character and attribute information.
A suitable editor is supplied (FEDIT.EXE) or you may wish to use a third-party
application such as "The Draw" which is available as shareware from almost any
BBS.

REQUIREMENTS
The Movie Editor runs on any IBM PC or clone with a colour monitor (CGA, EGA,
VGA, SVGA) and supports the use of extended memory (XMS). Some utilities may
also require an ANSI device driver to be loaded, such as "ANSI.SYS". A hard
disk is also ESSENTIAL as a movie can easily run into several megabytes!
