Is there a way to change an .avi movie to a fli/flic.  I want to 
use directx and djgpp, but unfortunatly I can't.  However, I found the 
allegro library (not found but finally decided to try it out) and it is 
great.  It provides pretty much device independent coding (with the 
autodetect) for both video and sound (I don't want to here how 
non-device independent it is in replies).  I am trying to make a huge 3d 
game RPG that is totally dynamic, and thanks to the dlm lib, I can.  
	But anyways, directx still allows the ability to create .avi's 
using their animation frames, and directx is still the #1 games library 
on my list.  So I decided to make a Ms-Dos, flat-memory game with a 
little directx mixed in.  Thanks for all your time.
