NAME

       aemakeflic - produce an animation from an aewan document

SYNOPSIS

       aemakeflic [-f {less|sh}] [-N] [-b] [-d <delay>] input.ae [outputfile.ext]

DESCRIPTION

       This  utility  will make an ascii animation out of an aewan document. It can currently produce animations
       in two formats: a shellscript which, when executed,  will  display  the  animation  and  a  "less  movie"
       intended  to  be  "played"  on  the  very  popular  'less' output pager -- that is, the user will see the
       animation as he pages down through the file in an appropriate window size.

       Each layer in the aewan document is interpreted as one frame of the animation.   Layer  transparency  and
       compositing are not used: each layer becomes a frame.

OPTIONS

       -f     specifies output format - can "sh" for a shellscript or "less" for a "less movie"

       -N     omit  the  initial instructions that are normally included in the resulting file. The instructions
              will orient the user as to how to play the file.

       -b     disables output of color (only characters will be printed).

       -d delay
              specifies the delay between frames (for shellscript only), given in milliseconds.
