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.
