Hi, I'm thinking of playing around with writing my own flic viewer. Can someone tell me where to find the various file formats and the specs for interfacing with VESA drivers? Thanks! -Andy

There is a VESA toolkit along with several other VESA documents over in the GRAPHSUP forum. They are outdated but should give you a good start. If you have the FLI/FLC code that was published in Dr Jobb's Journal, you're 90% there. Implementing other video modes and resolutions is pretty simple.

Gus, Thanks for your fast reply! I don't have the Dr Jobb's Jornal. Can you tell me where I can find it? Thanks. -Andy

The stuff is right here in the Asoft forum. Last I saw it was in library 9 under the name FLIC.ZIP. In library 1 you will also find a file called RFLIC2.ZIP which is a variation of the above.
