======================================
1. About VidLoop Lite and VidLoop PLUS
======================================

VidLoop Lite is a free demo player for playing loop style animation files
that were created using VidLoop PLUS.  VidLoop Lite lacks the many file
playing options that are available in VidLoop PLUS and cannot be used to 
create VidLoop files.  Unlike VidLoop PLUS, VidLoop Lite is limited to an
ordered dither during file decompression that results in a textured 
appearance on playing files.

To learn more about VidLoop Lite and about how to upgrade to VidLoop PLUS
see the Help file and the ORDER.WRI file that were included with your 
download package.


======================
