     DEFINITIONS:

        Software: Indeo 5.0 XAnim Video Decompression DLL precompiled 
                  for various machine/OS combinations.

        Author:   Mark Podlipec (podlipec@ici.net)
                  Wrote XAnim dll wrapper and support functions as well
                  as changes required for portability.


  2) What It Is.

     This module will allow XAnim 2.80.0 or later to view the video 
     content of AVI and Quicktime files that are using the following 
     video codecs:

		Intel Indeo 5.0    IV50

     NOTE: Access keys are not currently supported.


  3) Uncompressing
    
     Already done if you are reading this.

  4) Installing

     You should now have two files. This readme file and another
     file that ends in a ".xa" (from now on I'm referring to this
     file as the .XA file).


        1) Create the directory "/usr/local/xanim/mods" if it doesn't
           already exist

        2) Move or copy the .XA file into that directory. 


     NOTE: You can use a different directory that the one used
     in steps 1 and 2 above provided that you set the 
     XANIM_MOD_DIR environment variable to list the directory 
     or directories you chose instead.

     For example. If you place them in "/global/xanim/mods" the you
     need to:

           setenv XANIM_MOD_DIR /global/xanim/mods

     Another example. If you also have some experimental ones in the
     directory: "/home/test/mods"   in addition to the stable ones
     in the directory: "/usr/local/xanim/mods"  then you would need to:

           setenv XANIM_MOD_DIR /usr/local/xanim/mods:/home/test/mods

     WARNING: While it shouldn't cause an error if the same .XA file
     is loaded several times, it isn't necessary and eats up additional
     memory.
    
     
  5) Using

     XAnim will check to see if XANIM_MOD_DIR is defined, if so it
     will search the ":" separated list of directories for files
     starting with "vid_" and ending with ".xa".  It will attempt
     to load any it finds.  If XANIM_MOD_DIR is not set, XAnim will
     only look in "/usr/local/xanim/mods" for the same type of files.

  6) Reporting Problems.

  7) Unsupported platforms/OSs

     I will need one of two things:

	1) CrossCompiler capable fo producing shared libraries
           for the platform in question and must run on a 
           Linux x86 platform.

        OR

        2) An outright gift of the machine/OS in question with
           a working C/C++ compiler and linker installed.

           
      Remote accounts aren't feasible since that'd be distruting
      the source code I'm under NDA on.

      Temporarily borrowing a machine isn't worth the hassle and 
      doesn't leave me with a permament solution.
