Many thanks to

for hosting this Web Site.
Morning,
XAnim 2.80.1 was released on 21Mar99.
XAnim(pronounced: eks-'an-im) is a program for playing a wide variety
of animation, audio and video formats on unix X11 machines.
I attempt to reply to all the email messages I receive, however, I get
quite a few with invalid return addresses. If you don't hear from me
within a week, double check that your return address is correct.
I can be reached via email: MYLASTNAME@ici.net
NOTE: My last name is "podlipec".

XAnim News - 9 May 1999
XAnim video dlls for Linux PowerPC and Linux Alpha released. These were
down with cross-compilers and aren't yet fully verified.
XAnim News - 21 Mar 1999
XAnim 2.80.1 is now ready. Minor changes/tweaks.
XAnim News - 14 Mar 1999
XAnim 2.80.0 is now ready for consumption. In addition to several
new video codecs, the new revision also supports dynamically loadable
video decompression libraries. This means you no longer need to
recompile xanim each time a new video codec is released or upgraded. There
are currently dll's for: Creative CYUV, Radius Cinepak, Intel Indeo 3.2,
Intel Indeo 4.1, Intel Indeo 5.0, CCITT H.261 and CCITT H.263.
There is a new Star Wars trailer that has been recently released and it
uses the currently unsupported Sorenson Video codec. I have contacted
Sorenson about licensing their codec. They responded that Apple won't
allow them to license it to others. You may want to nicely send a
single email message to
Sorenson
and
Apple
asking about unix and/or xanim support for the Sorenson video codec.
For the record, I would gladly add support for Sorenson if allowed to.
Same goes for all other currently unsupported video/audio codecs.
Also I'd like to thank all of those who sent me coins from around the
world for my collection. I appreciate the time and effort you took
to send those. It helps keep me going. Thanks again.
