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.

NAME

       aecat - display an aewan document

SYNOPSIS

       aecat [-b] [-c] [-{n|N}] [{-p | -l <layer_num>}] [-f <format>] [-o <output_file>] inputfile

DESCRIPTION

       This  is an utility program that will convert an aewan document to ANSI escape sequences so that it can be rendered on a standard terminal.
       Alternatively, it can also generate HTML code for displaying the document in a web page. Any particular layer of the document may  be  con-
       verted, or you may request a composite of all layers.

OPTIONS

       -f     specifies output format - can "text", "html" or "comment". Default is "text".  The "comment" format extracts document metadata.

       -c     prepend a 'clear screen' escape sequence (only valid when outputting text).

       -o<file>
	      writes output to specified file rather than stdout

       -b     disables output of color (only characters will be printed).

       -l<layer_no>
	      specifies which layer of the document is to be used (must be an index, not a layer name). By default, layer 0 will be used.

       -L     displays the number of layers in the file.

       -p     exports  a  composite,  that is, overlays all visible layers, paying attention to layer transparency, etc. The size of the composite
	      will be the size of the first layer

       -n     suppress output of newlines

       -h     prints a short help text
