- When loading multiple images, the choice is given to either use the same
  transition settings for all images, or generate random transitions.

		**** OpalPlayer  History. ****


		OpalPlayer v1.3 (12-Nov-92)

- Added 'Stop' ARexx command to terminate the current script.
- Sets display priorities correctly when updating the 24 bit image.
  This stops flashing when an image is being updated and the current
  image has a display priority other than Opal Only.
- General cleanup of code to avoid memory corruption during
  transitions.
- Right mouse button abort is now more responsive.
- Recompiled using SAS/C v6.0 with optimisation.
- NOTE: Requires Opal.library v2.2 or greater.


		OpalPlayer v1.4 (14-Dec-92)

- If the 'Latch Display' gadget is selected, OpalPlayer is now
 100% passive (i.e. all Opal copper lists are removed). This
 enables compatibility will all anim players.


		OpalPlayer v1.5 (15-Dec-92)

-Added PreLoad Capability. If an image has been set as a 'PreLoad'
 (using either the Preload token in script or gadget in Presents!).
 it will be loaded into memory at the start of the script and
 remain in memory for the duration of the script.
-Added 'AddPreLoad' Rexx command. This command adds an image to the 
 current preload list. Usage is: AddPreLoad FileName. Where FileName
 must include the complete path of the image.
-Added 'FreePreLoad' Rexx command. This command removes an image from
 the current preload list and frees up the memory taken by the image.
 Usage is: FreePreLoad FileName. Where FileName must include the
 complete path of the image. Note: The current image (image about
 to be 'advanced' to) cannot be removed from memory.
 'AddPreLoad' and 'FreePreLoad' commands allow dynamic control of the
 images stored in memory.
-The '-l' cli parameter can now take a value indicating the number of
 times to loop. For example:

	OpalPlayer MyScript -l10
  Will loop the script 10 times. The default loop count is 32767.
-Likewise a ToolTypes option to specify the loop count has also been
 added, the syntax is:
	LOOPS=10

		OpalPlayer v1.6 (31-Dec-92)
- No longer loses memory when the 'stop' ARexx command is executed.

		OpalPlayer v1.7 (13-Jan-93)
- OpalPlayer now has the ability to run as an ARexx host, without a
script (see update.doc).
- Added 7 ARexx commands, LoadImage, Transition, DisplayPri,
 PriStencil, Genlock, Displatch and Alpha.
- Now recognises ARexx commands when in Timer and Button mode.



		OpalPlayer v1.8 (10-Aug-94)
- Image names within a script file are now enclosed by quotes. This
 enables the Player to handle image names with spaces in the name.


		OpalPlayer v2.0 (14-Oct-94)
- Uses the new zero detect method to perform transitions. Requires
  a main ROM version of 2.0 or greater.

- All transistions have been rewritten and are now much faster
  and smoother than the previous versions.
