MENU MODE - This is the default mode when you just enter DL VIEWER from
the DOS command line. It lists all viewable files in a 4 column menu with
easy to use controls to allow you to show animation the way you want to
see them, including a slide mode. See Menu Features.
SINGLE FILE MODE - This mode has advanced features which make it
attractive for application programs which wants to display an animation.
You can shell to DL VIEWER with a filename to display an animation !
DL VIEWER will not return to your program but remain in MENU MODE waiting
for an ESC to be pressed IF you're using the shareware version.
MENU FEATURES:
- Handles up to 250 files using the keyboard.
- Gives 4 column menu of DL files.
- Arrow keys, PgUp/PgDn, Home/End move thru menu.
- Shows animation file at cursor or tagged animations with [ENTER].
- Mark/unmark files for viewing with [SPACEBAR].
- [F1] gives help.
- [F2] Toggle sound modes (SPEAKER/SOUNDBLASTER/NONE).
- [F3] Prompts for a new drive.
- [F4] Toggle language (ITALIAN/ENGLISH).

SOUND. With the 3.0 DL file format you can have music and sound
into a DL animation file. To hear it you can use your SOUNDBLASTER
if you have one or your poor SPEAKER. You can select your sound
device pressing [F2] in menu mode.
Using the SPEAKER might slow down your system if you're using a 286.
For now we're just supporting the default address 220H for the
SOUNDBLASTER card. There might be some problems if you're using
an old card version (before 2.0).
KEY SYSTEM. Some animations can be KEY PROTECTED from their author.
To view them you need to purcase their KEY. Usually you'll find
a registration form within the archive file containing the animation.
We give no warranty about these KEYs since they are created from
the DL MAKER users.
