No compression, actually Geoff. the FLx format uses a Delta method, which is
comprised of the first full image, and then only the pixels that *change*
between frames.

Fli's/Flc's are using delta compression(?). First frame is stored completely,
subsequent frame are only storing changed pixel info.
There was a description of Flc's in Dr. Dobbs Journal last year, but I can't
find a reference for it. Maybe someone else has the info.

Complete system as described by Jim Kent in his article on the Flic file
format in the
March 93 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal. This includes Listing One and Listing
Two
referred to in the article. Flic files are a sequence of still frames which can
be
flipped through to achieve the illusion of movement. Uploaded by kind

Thanks, Brian, got it now!
