- Short: Pointer animator commodity, AGA/3.0
- Type: os30/cdity
- Uploader: koren@fc.hp.com
- Author: koren@fc.hp.com
-
- This is a pointer animator for AmigaDos 3.0 or later (it might also work
- on OS 2.1, but I've only tried it under AGA), and >=68020 CPUs. It
- supports standard IFF anim-brushes or op-5 animations, 16 colors sprites,
- ARexx, icon direct-drag-and-drop, a graphical user interface, and double
- buffering pointer images in FAST RAM to consume only a very small amount
- of CHIP RAM.
-
- This is the first version of this utility, and there are some quirks to be
- worked out yet, especially since working with sprites is always a bit
- peculiar. Also, this utility does not yet support the 32 or 64 pixel wide
- AGA sprites, but I hope to make it do so as soon as my 3.1 developer's kit
- comes. For this version, however, you MUST set your system pointer prefs
- to lo-res.
-
- This program tries to be system compliant, although it will not work on
- 3rd party graphics cards due to the dependence on the Amiga sprite engine.
-
- A few hand-drawn 4 color animated pointers are included, and also some
- ray-traced (seriously!) 16 color animated pointers (but see the note in
- the documentation under "Common Problems" about amiga hardware limitations
- with 16 color sprites if they doesn't seem to work properly for you).
-
- I am also soliciting contributions to the animated pointer collection.
-
- Please read the amigaguide documentation file for more information.
- Before running this program.
