Short: Pointer animator commodity, AGA/3.0 Author: koren@fc.hp.com Uploader: koren fc hp com Type: util/cdity Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a pointer animator for AmigaDos 3.0 or later (it might also work on OS 2.1, but I've only tried it under AGA), and >=68020 CPUs. It supports standard IFF anim-brushes or op-5 animations, 16 colors sprites, ARexx, icon direct-drag-and-drop, a graphical user interface, and double buffering pointer images in FAST RAM to consume only a very small amount of CHIP RAM. This is the first version of this utility, and there are some quirks to be worked out yet, especially since working with sprites is always a bit peculiar. Also, this utility does not yet support the 32 or 64 pixel wide AGA sprites, but I hope to make it do so as soon as my 3.1 developer's kit comes. For this version, however, you MUST set your system pointer prefs to lo-res. This program tries to be system compliant, although it will not work on 3rd party graphics cards due to the dependence on the Amiga sprite engine. A few hand-drawn 4 color animated pointers are included, and also some ray-traced (seriously!) 16 color animated pointers (but see the note in the documentation under "Common Problems" about amiga hardware limitations with 16 color sprites if they doesn't seem to work properly for you). I am also soliciting contributions to the animated pointer collection. Please read the amigaguide documentation file for more information. Before running this program. - steve (koren@fc.hp.com)
