What is the point of using NOTANIM in the .ini file?
AFAIK there's not really any point, but there is a "reason", sort of, I suppose. There are four options:
- specify animation properties (delay times in particular)
- say that the background is BLACK
- say that the depth dot is LEFTALIGNed instead of centered
- none of the above.
In particular, if a "sequence" is really separate frames, specifying delay properties is pointless. If the image is not black, and the depth dot should be centered, it makes sense to not specify any of the other options either. So NOTANIM is just a name for "no animation, and not otherwise special either".
Note that both NOTANIM and LEFTALIGN are pointless in the sense that their effect can be created by specifying some frame values instead.
