  What's new in Version 1.2
  -------------------------
  All frame control is specified with
  commands. All commands start with /

  Added the following commands:
  /repeat /delay /hdelay /rdelay
  /hrdelay /key

  What is it?
  -----------

  MKPGX is a program that allows you 
  create PGX files.  It will run on
  the Atari Portfolio or a desktop PC. 
  These files can contain both PGC and
  PGT (text) files.  The command line
  syntax is almost identical to that
  of PGSHOW.

  PGX files can be viewed with PGfliX.

  PGT files can be created with PGDUMP
  by BJ Gleason

  PGC files can be created with PGEDIT
  by Don Messerli or PGDUMP/PGCONV by
  BJ Gleason.

  How do I use it?
  ----------------

  SYNTAX: 
  MKPGX <pgx> <filename> [/command]...
  or
  MKPGX @commandfile
   
  <pgx> is the name of the PGX file
  you wish to create.  A .PGX file
  extension is assumed.

  <filename> is the name of a PGC
  or PGT file.  A .PGC file extension
  is the default.  If it is a .PGT
  file, an extension must be specified.

  [/command] is one of the following
  frame control commands.  If no
  command is specified, the next frame
  will be displayed immediately.  If
  more than one command is specified
  for a frame, only the last command
  is used. (except repeat)

  /repeat - the animation will repeat
  infinitely when viewed with PGfliX.
  This command can follow the pgxname
  or any filename.

  /delay n - delays for n seconds.
  n can be a value from 0 to 255
  
  /hdelay n - delays for n 100ths of
  a second.  n can be a value from 0
  to 255.

  /rdelay min max - delays for a random
  number of seconds between min and max.
  min and max can be values from 0 to
  255.

  /hrdelay min max - delays for a random
  number of 100ths of a second between
  min and max.  min and max can be values
  from 0 to 255.

  /key - wait for a keypress before
  proceeding

  Multiple filename-command pairs can
  be specified on the command line.
  This is the idea behind PGX files.
  PGfliX will show one file after the
  other.

  If you use a command file instead of
  putting the filenames on the command
  line, you can specify files on
  separate lines of the command file.

  SAMPLE COMMAND FILE

  PIC1 /delay 10
  
          <- blank lines are fine
  
  PIC2    <- no waiting
  PIC3 /hdelay 50  <- 1/2 a second
  PIC4 /rdelay 1 5  <- 1 - 5 seconds
  PIC5
  /hrdelay 10 75

          <- more blank lines
