ShowANIM is a program for the playing of ANIM type animation files.
The usage for this program is simply:
ShowANIM filename
which will load the specified ANIM file into memory
and play it one time.
There are also three switches which can be used:
-l loop mode - will replay the animation
over and over from the start. Control C
will abort and stop playing the animation.
-c continuous play mode - this is similar to
-l above except ShowANIM assumes you have a
two frame overlap at the end of the ANIM file
(the last two frames are IDENTICAL to the
first two). Given this requirement, ShowANIM
can play the animation over and over in a
continuous fashion. Control C will abort
and stop playing the animation.
+nn where nn is a two digit number indicating the
number of vertical blanks (1/60 sec jiffies)
for each frame. ShowANIM will assure that at
least this number of vertical blanks will
occur between frames. e.g. a +6 will produce
a 10 frame/second animation provided ShowANIM
can reconstruct the frames that fast. This
will override the reltime parameter on the
ANHD chunks on the ANIM file.
For example, to show an animation with the name of
"Whatever.anim" continuously at 30 frames per
second, enter:
ShowANIM -c +2 Whatever.anim
