PowerFliC 32bit, revision history
-------------------------------------


 - 1.50    *Although the interface looks exactly the same as v1.40, the
            meaning of the Play from File button has changed!.  With this
            button, you now select a file to be played, and it is only
            played when you press the PLAY button.  When the flic playback
            is complete, the play button is remained enabled and you can
            press it again to play the same file from disk.

           *New information "Status" under the information page (Alt-I).
            The status can contain three things:
            1. In memory      = A Flic is currently loaded in memory.
            2. File Selected  = A flic file was selected using the
                                file play option.
            3. None           = Means that there is no flic in memory
                                or file selected to be played.            

           *Now pressing the Close button in the IMAGE window fixes the
            image window to one forth the size of the screen.

           *New key "Alt-Enter" this key will Go to full-screen
            stretch mode.  Pressing it again will restore the
            window size to the size defined in the Flic header.

           *You can now always exit using the quit button, even during
            flic playback.

           *Now when you move a window on top of a stopped flic, and
            move it off, the bitmap is not erased.  Not really important
            but what a little more attractive.

 - 1.40    *256 color playback now maps unsupported colors the nearest
            colors in the palette, no more black areas where pixels were
            lost to the 20 system palette.

 - 1.30    *Playback speed improvement!, playing is 30%-50%
            faster now.  PowerFliC was timed playing a full motion
            800x600 full screen flic at 28 frames per second
            on a P5/100mhz.

            This improvement is due to faster screen writes, 
            PowerFliC has an ASM32 Optimized decoder, so the
            decoding was always fast.  Another thing, the screen
            writes are still the bottleneck.  PowerFliC could be
            even faster (Maybe when i get some good Direct-X docs
            it will get even faster).

           *Added a new key "CTRL-+" (Control Plus), this key will
            restore playback speed to it's predefined original state.

           *Added a new key "CTRL--" (Control Minus), this key will
            move the speed bar to the Max (0) position for maximum
            playback speedrates.

           *Now pressing "ALT-X" will exit PowerFliC,
            even during playback.

           *Fixed a bug that caused a "Divide by zero" error
            when playing flics where the speed was set at 0.

           *Improved display of FPS (under statistics) when dealing with
            VERY high speed playback (at 100fps).

           *Small DOC size (reduced image to 16 colors :)

 - 1.20    *It appears that without a special command, windows timing
            accuracy is bad.  So there was a +/- 12ms inaccuracy
            in play timing.  Fixed.

           *Ouch, it appears that some flic encoders (Animator PRO)
            write wrong frame size for uncompressed frames!
            This caused PowerFliC to crash with and "I/O 87" error.

           *Another bug related to uncompressed frames was fixed, it
            was causing unreliable playback on flics with uncompressed
            frames that may cause the player to crash.

           *Added tiny arrows to the left and right of the bars
            for accurate moving.

           *A new playing statistic page was added (ALT-S).

           *A new information page was added (ALT-I).


 - 1.10    *Changed name from "Flic Player 32bit" to 
            "PowerFliC 32bit", sounds better.

           *It appears that some sort of encoder seems to save
            the ring frame of FLI/FLC files as 0 chunks.  
            This caused a "Read beyond end of file" error.
            PowerFliC now plays these files smoothly 
            (not like some other flic players).

           *When PowerFliC is passed an invalid or non-existant
            flic file, it now informs you of the problem instead
            of ignoring it.

           *Added a new key "ALT-X" to exit PowerFliC
            (Only works when there is no flic playing).

           *PowerFliC now correctly writes it's configuration
            file in the directory the exe file is located,
            and NOT the directory it was run at.

           *New "About" window created to reflect name change.

           *PowerFliC is now available on Tucows (http://www.tucows.com) 
            and all it's mirrors.
            If you're having problems connecting to tucows, try one of
            it's mirrors at "http://www.env.com".
