-
- Requirements:
-
- Dos Version 3x and up.
- Video: Color: CGA - EGA - VGA
- System: IBM XT/PC or better.
- Ansi.Sys or the like must be installed via
- your Config.Sys file in order to view Ansi's
-
-
- The Ansi Animation Show is easy to use! Simply log onto the directory
- where your Ansi Files are kept and type AASS. You're on your way.
-
- Typing AASS ? will display a command summary screen.
-
- NOTE: AASS.EXE will only display files with an extension of .ANS
- all other files are ignored.
-
- The Opening Screen contains a Menu showing - Manual Auto Quit -
- You may use the cursor keys to select, then press enter, or press
- the highlighted letter of the Menu Item.
-
- MANUAL MODE:
-
- This will display the first file found, after a 3 second pause, an
- info bar will display at the bottom of the screen showing the file
- name, number of code lines in file, and at the far right some
- commands. Redraw / Next /Exit
- Press the letter of the command you wish to activate.
-
- Redraw: Will prompt you for a drawing speed, pressing Enter will
- leave the speed as it was, you may enter any number from 100 to 1000
- (this is milliseconds) 500=1/2 sec 1000=1 sec. This will slow down
- the drawing of the picture. 500 is usually more than enough delay.
- 1000 REALLY slows it down.
-
- Next: Displays the next picture.
-
- Exit: Clears the screen and Exits the program.
-
- AUTO MODE:
-
- A box will display asking you for the delay time (in seconds) to
- pause between drawings, values are from 0 sec to 10 sec. Anything
- lower, or pressing Enter on the blank field, will set the delay to
- the default pause of 3 seconds. 5 seconds is also a comfortable
- pause, anything higher might be a bit boring.
- A delay of 0 puts on quite an interesting show! Experiment.
-
- QUIT: Yep...thats what it does.
-
- ABORT PROGRAM: During the time a Ansi file is being drawn on the
- screen, any keypress will Terminate the program and return you to the
- command prompt.

-
- FLOPPY FILES:
-
- You can display files from a floppy too. First log onto the floppy
- drive, then type AASS, the program will display files from the
- floppy disk. The drawing will be somewhat slower!

- In order for the above to work AASS.EXE needs to be stored in a
- directory that is listed in your PATH staement.
-
- HOW MANY FILES:
-
- The Registered version of AASS will display an UNLIMITED number of
- Ansi files. The DEMO version is limited to 6 files. After the 6th
