about FLIP32
------------
FLIP32 is a WATCOM C/C++ package which demonstrate you how to play Autodesk
Animator's FLI files under flat 32-bit protected mode environment.
The main purpose of this package is _NOT_ to learn you all about FLIC files
but only to help you getting the basics to implement a fast and efficient
animation player.
Ooh... I forgot, I assume that you already got skills in i80386+ assembler,
WATCOM C/C++ and a bit of 32-bit protected mode knowledge.
note: the demo provided in the package is far to be an optimized player. As
it is specified in FLIP32_A.ASM, I use the vertical retrace to synchronize
the playback.
the demo animation was created and rendered about 1 year ago by a really
great computer artist who's also a pretty good friend of mine (hi there!)
called Laurent M. Abecassis (lmabe@dsuper.net)... ooops! btw, since the
header of this file has been 'patched', some FLC players don't like it...
archive contents
----------------
README . guess what? :)
FLIP32_A.ASM assembler routines
MKDEMO .BAT tiny batch to compile the demonstration (with PMODE/W)
BRIOCHE!.COM a little addy...
DEMO .CPP demo to show how to play a FLI 'direct-from-disk'
DEMO .EXE the executable demo.
NICE .FLI a beautiful demonstration animation by cassico (greet!)
FILE_ID .DIZ description
FLIP32 .H basic player header
TYPES .H another header files whith some common typedef's...
DEMO .OBJ a 'ready-to-go' object
FLIP32 .OBJ an another 'ready-to-go' object
FLIP32_A.OBJ also a 'ready-to-go' object

Caution! I'm not sure that the function flip32_unpack() will run with DOS32
extender since this extender doesn't manage linear memory as WATCOM does...
btw, its memory system (with all these crappy relocation to compute) really
sucks! :)
if you recompile the demo, you'll not have the same size as the executable
provided since it has been packed with PMWLITE... so don't worry!
