Hey everybody, I've finally finished a release version of
my animation library.  Although, it is still in early
BETA, so I need you guys to rip it apart and let me know
of any bugs you find.

==========================================================

PROMAT Animation Library, Release 1.0

Features Include :

 * Full compatibility with Allegro (uses Allegro directly) 
 * Support for FLC playback on any BITMAP color depth 
   (8/15/16/24/32 bpp) and any resolution. 
 * Play back multiple FLI/FLC's at once! 
 * Independent control of each animation (including 
   on-screen location, size, etc) 
 * Jump to a frame by number! 
 * Multiple playback settings! (Standard, Masked Playback, 
   Interlaced Playback) 
 * Multiple blitting options! (Standard, Stretched, 
   Transparent) 
 * Option to drop frames to maintain animation playback rate 
 * Correct playback of all Smacker-generated FLC files! 
 * Direct individual loading of FLC animations from allegro 
   datafiles using internal packfile routines 


Best of all, it's a lot cheaper than Smacker.
