#OS/2 .FLI player
5 messages in this thread
Does anyone know of a AAPLAY for OS/2? I'm not talking about running AAPLAY in
a DOS window or fullscreen under OS/2, but an actual OS/2 version of AAPLAY.
For a demo, we'd had wanted to make calls to AAPLAY, but because it currently
runs only in a DOS window/fullscreen, we get some behavior from the application
that we'd rather avoid. An OS/2 version of AAPLAY would solve our problem. If
you know of such an application, please let us know. The demo is to be given in
2 days in Brazil (lots of notice, I know)…
Thanks, Michael
Michael,
I don't believe I've seen an OS/2 version of AAPLAY, but there is a Windows
version that has been released recently. If your running seemless windows in
OS/2 this should be exactly what your looking for.
I believe there is a demo version available somewhere on the Asoft forum. Sorry
I don't know the name or location of the file.
Maybe someone else knows of its location.

Micheal, I do not think a OS/2 FLI player would be of great value. If you ran
the a player on the OS/2 desktop the full range of 256 colors are NOT
available. OS/2 controls the desktop color pallete and therefore reduces the
number of colors available to the FLI. When graphics boards that support
greater then 256 color have OS/2 drivers then playing a FLI on the OS/2 desktop
will be viable ( but still may be to slow).
Doug,
Windows does exactly the same thing – all 256 colors are not available either.
It grabs (I believe) 20 colors to use for icons, borders etc. I'm pretty sure
OS/2 doesn't take any more colors than Windows does. So an OS/2 version would
work perfect.

Found an OS/2 PM based .FLIc player on America Online. In the OS/2 library,
there is a file called PMFLI100.ZIP. I downloaded it and it worked great! It
wasn't apparent what extras you got if you registered (EG: it didn't say if it
supported .GIFs or if it had a SCRipting language). I'm waiting for the authors
permission to upload it here (unless someone beats me to it).
