 CyberAVI is a fast AVI animation player for 020+ machines with AmigaOS  3.0  or
 higher and a graphic card with CyberGraphX.

 minimum hardware requirements:
   -Amiga with AmigaOS 3.0 (V39)
   -MC68020
   -a graphic card (eg. CyberVision64, Picasso II, Retina, etc)
   -2MB of FastRAM

 software requirements
   -CyberGraphX 2.16 (not included)
   -asyncio.library V37 (included)

 recommended hardware requirements:
   -Amiga with AmigaOS 3.1 (V40)
   -MC68040 25MHz

 Sorry, but there is no support for ECS/AGA. CyberGraphX is far to easy  to  use
 with  screen  >=8  bit, so I didn't implement any dithering routines. Maybe AGA
 will be supported in later versions.

 Supported codecs until now:

     Microsoft Video 1  (CRAM)        8/16 bit video
     Radius CinePak     (CVID)          24 bit video
     Microsoft RGB      (RGB)   8/16/24/32 bit video
     Microsoft RLE8     (RLE8)           8 bit video
     IBM Ultimotion     (ULTI)          16 bit video

     PCM                                 8 bit audio Mono

 Changes since V1.3:
   - CyberAVI was nearly completely rewritten, because the source code had
     become very confusing and weird :)
   - 00xx chunks are now recognized as "video chunks"
   - CyberAVI now uses sub tasks for decoding audio and video data
   - innocent memory could have been overwritten if the frame sized had to be
     rounded. This is fixed now.
   - many minor bugfixes
   - removed FRAMESPERSECOND option since there was no real reason for it.
     added MAXFPS option instead to force maximum playback speed
   - now AVIs will be played "by index". If an index chunk is found it will be
     used to determine the sequence in that the animation will be played.
   - added NOINDEX switch to force ignorance of the index chunk
   - added support for 8 bit RGB anims. Thanks to Joachim Greve for for the
     example animations.
   - improved recognition of movie chunks. Unknown video chunks should not
     appear anymore (eg: 00xx, 00id, etc)
   - added support for startup from WB
   - added SKIP switch. This allows skipping of video frames if necessary and
     possible.
   - fixed problem with shrug display of some animations.
   - removed some MungWall hits
   - I hope the sound problems are gone now. A big "Thank you" to Thomas Wenzel
     for his great support.
