# playdemolist.py:  play demos from wolfcam-ql/playdemos.txt
#
# wolfcamql executable must be in your executable PATH list.
#
# This script must be run from the same directory as the wolfcamql executable
# (wolfcamql.exe, wolfcamql.i386, wolfcamqlmac) since it uses 'wolfcam-ql' as
# a relative directory.
#
# wolfcamql executable must also be in your executable PATH list.
#
# playdemos.txt format:  one demo file per line.  Ex:
#
# test-demo1.dm_91
# ctf-flag-run13.dm_91
# etc..
