Playing Flic Files

Like Fastgraph, Fastgraph/Image provides high-level and low-level functions for playing flic (FLI and FLC) files. The fgi_showflic() function plays a flic file from an FGI library and is analogous to Fastgraph's fg_showflic() function. Two low-level functions, fgi_flicopen() and fgi_flicskip(), take the place of Fastgraph's fg_flicopen() and fg_flicskip() functions when playing flics from FGI files, but you still use Fastgraph's fg_flicplay() function for actually playing the frames. No "terminate flic processing" function is needed when playing flics from an FGI library, so do not call fg_flicdone().

One important difference between the Fastgraph and the Fastgraph/Image low-level flic functions is the size of the context descriptor. In Fastgraph/Image, the context descriptor size is 20 bytes, not 16 bytes as in Fastgraph.
