- SHOW A MOVIE version 1.0
- (c) 1984 by Neil J. Rubenking
-
- SHOWMOVI.COM is a stripped-down version of MAKAMOVI. You call it from
- DOS with a parameter string as described below, and it SHOWs a MOVIe file that
- you created with MAKAMOVI.
-
-
- SYNTAX:
-
- SHOWMOVI MOVINAME/[o,c, or r]/[wait]/[repetitions]/
-
- MOVINAME is the name of the screen file selected. It may include a drive
- letter, but must not include the extension, which is automatically set
- to ".SCN". This item is REQUIRED -- there is no default.
-
- [o,c, or r] Set the mode of display, where ...
- O : One time display -- last screen remains until a key is pressed.
- C : Continuous display until a key is pressed.
- R : Repetitive display -- repeats the cycle a set number of times,
- then holds the last screen 'till a key is pressed.
- Default is r.
-
- [wait] This is the time between screens. It is an integer value. The range
- 10 to 100 is probably what you'll want. Default is 50.
-
- [repetitions] An integer value that tells an R display how many times to
- repeat. Default is 5.
-
- The parameters MUST be passed in this order, with slashes between AND a slash
- after the last parameter. Only MOVINAME is required.
-
-
- EXAMPLES:
-
- SHOWMOVI bouncy/o/20/ Shows "bouncy" once, with 20 units between screens
- SHOWMOVI square/r/100/10 Shows "square" ten times, with 100 units between
- SHOWMOVI bouncy/c/ Shows "bouncy" continuously, with the default value
- of 50 units between
- SHOWMOVI square/o CRASHES, because of missing final slash
- SHOWMOVI bouncy/50/ CRASHES -- you don't have to give all the parameters,
- but you must give a complete list up to the point
- you stop (SHOWMOVI bouncy/o/50/ would be right)
- SHOWMOVI bouncy/ Uses all default values, so it shows "bouncy" 5
- times with 50 between
