Xmanimate
---------
This program demonstrates the following Motif features:
     - declaration of icon/bitmap using UIL for portability across visuals
     - exchange of value between UIL and C using Mrm.
     - use of the Motif form widget.
     - background procedure running while the client process
       is waiting for inputs (Xt intrinsics feature).
     
Xmanimate allows the user to animate a set of pixmaps in a window.
The pixmaps are not fixed by xmanimate but instead read at startup from
existing UID files. 

The syntax of all the 'animation.uid' files follows some simple rules and
one can easily add a new set of pixmaps to be animated using xmanimate.

dog.uil, plane.uil and superman.uil are tree examples of animation data 
files. (superman<N>.xbm are referenced in superman.uil). The default animation
is 'dog'. To run the demo with the other animations, use the command:

% xmanimate -anim plane
% xmanimate -anim superman

xmanimate.uil and xmanimate.c are the core components of the program.
