| tomwalters@0 | 3 1. compilation |
| tomwalters@0 | 4 The makefile has flag settings for a linux 386 PC, Sun/OpenWindows, |
| tomwalters@0 | 5 Sun/X, and DECStation. The default values are for DEC; if you need a |
| tomwalters@0 | 6 different architecture, comment them out. |

| tomwalters@0 | 8 2. Known bugs. |
| tomwalters@0 | 9 a. 'Previous' and 'Next' (keyboard options) do not work on a DEC |
| tomwalters@0 | 10 b. ALL timing functions are removed in the Linux version. This means that |
| tomwalters@0 | 11 it is not possible to control the animation speed. |

| tomwalters@0 | 13 3. Byte-Swapping |
| tomwalters@0 | 14 Suns have a different byte-swapping to DECs and Linux PCs (well, my PC |
| tomwalters@0 | 15 anyway). Because AIM cartoons are simply a copy of the screen memory, their |
| tomwalters@0 | 16 byte-order is determined by the SCREEN they were generated on, NOT the |
| tomwalters@0 | 17 cpu used. 'xreview' will display anything in either byte-swapping format, |
| tomwalters@0 | 18 by using '-dec' or '-sun' options (which are aliases for '-rv', '-msb', -'lsb). |
| tomwalters@0 | 19 If what you get is gunk, try using them (the default is the current cpu |
| tomwalters@0 | 20 byte-order). |

| tomwalters@0 | 23 Not tested; you get to play with the colour masks ... |
