AnimIcon Version 1.1

A long time ago in my earlier days of programing I made a little tool launcher
for AmigaOS 3.5 "AnimIcon".

Here it is again brought completely up to date for AmigaOS 4.x 

The code has been rewritten using the latest AmigaOS 4 functions, replacing all 
depricated fuctions such as CreatePort, AlloVec etc with their modern 
replacements. AllocSysyObject() AllocVecTags() etc. 

Also the animations are loaded as 32bit ARGB images and support transparency.

Installation:

Copy AnimIcon to C: or anywhere else of your choosing. 

Examples:

The examples are setup to run simply by clicking on the icon in the examples 
directory. You can if you wish to add them to WBStartup, just copy the 
animations and icon to a sensible location and then drop the icon on WBStartup
prefs.

At the time of typing this the documetaion refers to the 68k AmigaOS 3.5 version
but most of the information it still useful.
