POCO and Aniplayhi
I need to play a flic very close to the speed at which the accident happened. I
found a poco routine ( written by James Hyde, see below for code) that can
provide very small changes to the play speed unlike the jiffies. The jiffies
provide too big of increments to be usefull to me.
My question is there a way to use the POCO routine to control the speed of a
flic played by aaplayhi. Maybe there is a player program that will give me the
control over speed that I need. Any ideas???

POCO power to the rescue!!!!!!!!
Why didn't I think of that before? Here's a POCO routine that will get pretty
damn close (close enough for government work <g>):
main() { int frame_count; frame_count= GetFrameCount(); SetSpeed(31);
PlayFlic(frame_count); }
Theoretically the variable passed to to set speed should be 33.3333… but I
assume there's some POCO overhead involved, I empiricaly found 31 to be close
enough.
Wow! Four lines of code saved over 22 hours of deck time! I'm amazed.
