(Note - Use the Rename.ex script after unarcing to rename files) These versions of GrabANIM and DisplayANIM have been provided as an example of ANIM creation and playback. These programs provide examples of vertical byte run length compression. The two routines involved in the compression and decompression (skip.c and unvscomp.asm) were written by Jim Kent and were released by him to public domain. Thanks go to Jim for his contribution to these programs and to the success of the ANIM format. The basic IFF read/write code came from the EA IFF routines. There have been some modifications made to these routines and these mods have not always been in the same vein as the original code. Most notably, there have been some global variables added which may render the code non-reentrant. In the case of DisplayANIM, this version (1.0) does NOT do all the things that the versions of ShowANIM do. First of all it will only play vertical byte style compression. Second, there is no timing code so all ANIMs played with this DisplayANIM will just run as fast as possible. The intent was not to give away the full source to ShowANIM, but to only provide a working example of ANIM playback. This sample code compiles under Aztec 3.4. Gary Bonham, SPARTA Inc. 24 March 1988
