You can use this program for free and give copies to friends but 
WE DON'T GIVE ANY WARRANTY FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY BE CAUSED BY THIS PROGRAM.
Please read license.txt for details.

AniTMT is a flexible program for creating animations. It uses an external 
Raytracer to render the pictures. The current Version only works with the 
professional but free Raytracer POV-Ray.

If you don't have any Version of POV-Ray please download it first under:
http://www.povray.org

To use AniTMT you should copy the binaries (anitmt-calc, anitmt-view 
[,tga2avi and mkavi]) to a directory in the PATH.

In Unix kompatible systems you may create links
(ex: ln -s /usr/share/anitmt/bin/anitmt-calc /usr/local/bin/anitmt-calc ...)
In Dos/Windows it is easier to extend the PATH variable inserting the following
line at the end of c:\autoexec.bat
(ex: set PATH=%PATH%; c:\graphics\anitmt\)

In order to test your installation change to the example directory and call:
 anitmt-calc cone.ini

You should see some strange output but no error messages.

To render you may call
 anitmt-view
without any parameters. If your povray executable isn't reachable with the 
PATH you have to add the Raytracer with the -p Parameter. 
(ex: anitmt-view -p c:/graphics/povray/povray31.exe)
For Details run 
 anitmt-view --help
