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.
