Can someone point me to a document that describes the difference between FLI and FLC files? I'm also interested in learning more about creating these types of files, for instance, what program makes them, what program's you can use to play them, etc. Any assistance will be appreciated.

The flic file format has become the standard 8-bit PC animation format. Flics are produced by 3D Studio, Autodesk Animator Pro, and Autodesk Animator (now available as a part of Multimedia Explorer). Flics produced by Autodesk Animator are limited to a resolution of 320×200 pixels and use the .fli extension. All other flics are resolution independent, use the .flc extension, and can contain up to 4,000 frames.

Perfect! Just what I was looking for. FYI, we are enclosing an FLI/FLC Player in the newest version of PC Tools, which went to production this week. Shouldn't affect you at all, but I wanted to gather info for our customers.
