+The fldigigal package
+Dated: 2020-08-08
+
+The fldigigal package uses the rmannot package (Adobe Distiller workflow
+required) to create, what I am calling, an AcroTeX Flash Digital Gallery;
+that is, a Flash slide show that displays a series of digitals (PNG, JPG,
+GIF). The document author describes the digitals (path and caption) from
+the LaTeX source, on compilation, fldigigal write an XML file, which
+Distiller embeds in the PDF. The digitals may be embedded in the PDF, or
+reside on the Internet (reducing filesize). Three layouts of are offered
+at this time: vertical thumbnails, horizontal thumbnails, or no
+thumbnails.
+
+What's New 2020-08-08: This package becomes obsolete after December 2020.
+Following December 2020, Adobe no longer supports Flash player (SWF, FLV).
+This package uses a custom SWF file (fdg_ht1.swf, eg); as a result this
+package will no longer function in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The package will
+continue to produce PDFs as designed, but only if built using Acrobat XI (or
+a version Acrobat prior to 2021) and viewed in Adobe Acrobat Reader
+XI (or a version of Reader prior 2021).
+
+Now, I simply must get back to my retirement.
