- PlayANIM
-
-
-
- PlayANIM is a small utility used to play the animations generated
- with BrainStorm, although any IFF ANIM player can be used to play the
- animations. It supports all resolutions and display modes available on the
- Amiga. PlayANIM is more Amigatized than ShowANIM, because while ShowANIM
- takes over the whole display, PlayANIM opens a separate screen allowing
- proper multitasking without interfering with other tasks. In addition, it
- allows some control over the animations while they are actually playing,
- through the use of certain control keys. PlayANIM can be started in the CLI,
- by clicking its icon in the WorkBench, or by clicking on an animation which
- has PlayANIM designated as it's deault tool.
