Thanks for downloading my Star Wars animation viewer! This plays
2834 frames of text-based animation (36842 lines of text!), along
with some music. Visit the author's web site at www.asciimation.co.nz.

There are a number of different versions of this program:

SW_DOS.EXE  - DOS version
SW_WIN.EXE  - Windows versions (requires ALLEG40.DLL)
SWSEAL2.EXE - SEAL 1.x version (tested on Bad Seal 0.54 and StarSeal)
SWSEAL2.S2A - SEAL 2.0 version (tested on SEAL 2.00.11)

You can download ALLEG40.DLL from http://www.allegro.cc/files/ if
required.

If using a SEAL version, you must put SWSEAL2.DAT in your SEAL system
directory (eg, C:\SEAL2\BIN or C:\BADSEAL). Also, I've found that
in some cases, the program will only run once per session on SEAL 1.x.
I'm not entirely sure why this happens.

If you used an earlier verrsion of this program, you will notice that
the speed is not adjustable. This is because each frame now appears
for a set piece of time, so text appears long enough for you to read it,
while ships don't take ten years to cross the screen, for example.

Please send any comments or queries to starwars@orudge.freeuk.com.

Enjoy!
