FLICInfo

Reads an Autodesk Animator FLI or FLC file header and displays animation 
information


Syntax

FLICInfo <cFILENAME.FLx>


Arguments

<cFILENAME.FLx>
Name of the Autodesk Animator or AnimatorPro compatible animator sequence. 
Extension may be FLC or FLI.


DOS Error Messages

Can not open <cFILENAME>
Not enough memory to load flic frame
<cFILENAME> is not an Autodesk Animator FLI/FLC file


Remarks

FLICInfo reads the header of a 320x200 Autodesk Animator FLI or Animator Pro 
FLC or compatible flic file and displays information about <cFILENAME.FLx>. 
It displays the followign information about the animation file:

<nFLICWidth>
Horizontal width of the flic viewport.

<nFLICHeight>
Vertical height of the flic viewport.

<nBitsPerPixel>
Number of bits per pixel.

<nSpeed>
Default speed in milliseconds, delay between frames.

<nNumFrames>
Total number of frames contained in the flic.

The <nFLICWidth> and <nFLICHeight> are the default width and height of the 
flic viewport (Animator FLIs are normally 320x200, Animator Pro FLCs may be 
any valid width and height, but many are 640x480). The <nBitsPerPixel> 
Number of bits per pixel used by the flic (FLIs are normally 8-bits per 
pixel, FLCs may be 8, 16 or 24-bit). The play speed, <nSpeed>, is the 
default playback speed or the delay time between frames of the flic in 
milliseconds  for <cFILENAME.FLx>.

The header information is displayed in 6 rows, starting at column 0: field 
name, colon delimiter, and at column 22, information contained in the field. 
The header information displays as shown in the following two examples and 
may be piped to a file.
