THE AMIGAVISION PLAYER: AVPLAYER

AmigaVision Professional contains a freely redistributable player
program called AVPlayer. AVPlayer is a version of AmigaVision
Professional without the Flow Editor. It allows you to playback
flows created in AmigaVision Professional or AmigaVision 1.7.

The only files on the AV_Player diskette that are freely
redistributable are:
                1) AVPlayer,
                2) AVPlayer.info,
                3) AVPlayer.doc,
                4) AVPlayer.doc.info,
                5) avdb.library,
                6) avtextgad.library,
                7) camd.library,
                8) realtime.library,
                9) and the video driver files found in
                   the devs: directory.

Do not redistribute any other files on this diskette.

If there are other files on this diskette that you would like
to redistribute, you must first contact CATS, 1200 Wilson Drive,
West Chester, PA 19380, USA.


USING AVPLAYER

To use the AmigaVision player program, enter the following from the
AmigaDOS CLI:

              AVPlayer <filename.AVf> [-sXXXXX]

The first parameter, the AmigaVision file to be presented, should contain
the file's complete path, and the .AVf extension. For example:

              AVPlayer df0:examples/Quiz.avf

The second optional parameter overrides the default stack size. When
the AVPlayer is started, it sets a default stack size of 20K. To
override this stack size, specify the "-s" parameter followed by a
number which represents the new stack size.  For example:

              AVPlayer df0:examples/Quiz.avf -s10000

will cause the AVPlayer to set a stack size of 10K.

Before the AVPlayer creates its stack, it will check the system stack.
If the system stack is the larger than the stack that AVPlayer wants to
create, a new stack will not be created, the system stack will be used
instead. If the system stack is smaller than the one that AVPlayer wants
to create, a second stack will be created for the AVPlayer.

This version of the AmigaVision player cannot be run from Workbench.

This version of the player has been divided into three portions:

    AVPlayer          : the main executable, and
    avdb.library      : a library containing all AV's database
                        functionality,
    avtextgad.library : a library containing all AV's input field
                        form functionality.

The optional libraries are needed only if the flow contains icons
from the Data submenu.  They are intended to be placed in the Libs:
directory or in the same directory as AVPlayer.  As they are specific
to AmigaVision, we recommend that they be stored with the executable.

Camd.library and realtime.library are necessary if you plan to
play MIDI files with AmigaVision.
