Hello and welcome to the animated world of Dancing Flame.  

Here is a list and a short description of the animation scripts you
should have on your disk. 

landing.script - Lunar Module descends on the moon.  Cels and background
				 by Aegis. 
the_beast.script - A dragon burps.
mikeblob.script - Blob genre animation by Mike Gomez of Island Graphics
loiner2.script  - a cubist view of paranoi
RefroAttak.script - Have you cleaned your refrigerator lately?
grow-ur-own.script - From Aegis.  Robot makes a date.
tara.script - Good luck from Tibet!
cycle_demo.script - From Aegis.  Geometric color tweens.
sea4.script - Pretty abstact seascape.
jcop3.script - It's not a helecoptor it's a jimcopter.
FireEater.script - voodoo fire-salamander becomes a bird.
mrph.script - an abstract wiggle
knight.script - from Mr. Saks at Aegis.  Slick horse and rider.
more_grak.script - a bird drops a building in space. Background by Chris Kent
loiter3.script - expressive pencil-sketch genre.
flower-hand.script - a hand drops a flower
wink.script - very silly.
palm2.script - in all the ads.


You can run these programs from the Animator.  Some of them, particularly
FireEater, are quite big and may cause out of memory problems if you
just have 512k.  I've also included the first cut of the public domain
player program.  There is a bug left which makes "block" types appear
as just a point.  To use type:
	player	- you will get a menu.  Pick any .script file and PLAY.
	player +all		- will replay everything forever or until you hit
				  keyboard
	player sea4 mrph tara  - will play the scripts you list.

All artwork unless otherwise noted was done by Jim Kent.  All artwork
not attributed to Aegis is copyright (c) 1986 by Dancing Flame.

Some of the scripts have been distibuted with the Animator.  However
since the scripts that are distributed with the Animator are frequently
changed I have included some of my favorites here as well.  I hope
you do enjoy these and feel free to encorporate bits and pieces
into your own scripts.  If you have any animations you like please
send them by.  Leave a note whether you would like me to distibute
them.

There are two other files you may be interested in on this disk.  The
first is known_bugs - a list of the bugs we've discovered (and of
course hope to fix soon) in the Animator 1.10.  The other is
script_format - a file written almost entirely in computerese which
could be helpful if you wish to generate script files from a basic
or C program as well as with the mouse.
