Aloysius, I noticed in a thread posted earlier that you were thinking about switching up to Mac OS X. I would definatly recommend that you try that before you switch over to linux or another unix flavor. It's a great way to get your feet wet. Also I thought you should know that Mac OS X isn't really as much like linux as it is FreeBSD (a unix derived from the berkely systems distrobution). But it's still very much Mac-like in it's interface, alot less scary for a first time unix experience, and a great way to learn some unix from the command-line interface.

Instead of the slow and not readable tooltips with the preview of the thread content in forum view, I have added the preview with mouseover (see attached movie).
Let me know if you want a different kind of preview (animation, duration font-color, size, etc,)
Thanks.

aemakeflic(1) General Commands Manual aemakeflic(1)
NAME
aemakeflic - produce an animation from an aewan document
SYNOPSIS
aemakeflic [-f {less|sh}] [-N] [-b] [-d <delay>] input.ae [outputfile.ext]
DESCRIPTION
This utility will make an ascii animation out of an aewan document. It can currently produce animations in two formats: a shellscript
which, when executed, will display the animation and a "less movie" intended to be "played" on the very popular 'less' output pager -- that
is, the user will see the animation as he pages down through the file in an appropriate window size.
Each layer in the aewan document is interpreted as one frame of the animation. Layer transparency and compositing are not used: each layer
becomes a frame.
OPTIONS
-f specifies output format - can "sh" for a shellscript or "less" for a "less movie"
-N omit the initial instructions that are normally included in the resulting file. The instructions will orient the user as to how to
play the file.
-b disables output of color (only characters will be printed).
-d delay
specifies the delay between frames (for shellscript only), given in milliseconds.
