EndPopup

DESCRIPTION

The Animate-Classic module animates window actions. It currently animates iconification and deiconification in a zoom style or a twisty spinning style.

INITIALIZATION

During initialization, Animate-Classic will eventually search a configuration file which describes the time-outs and actions to take. The configuration file is the same file that asclassic used during initialization.

INVOCATION

The invocation method was shown in the synopsis section
