How to create an s2slides presentation

As of S2PLOT version 2.0, a utility called s2slides is included with the distribution. S2slides is a program which can be used to combine 2-d and 3-d images, and interactive programs into a relatively slick, self-contained presentation.

Before using s2slides, you should be familiar with running an existing S2PLOT program over a background image and "scripting" key presses for S2PLOT applications.

To use s2slides, all you need is one or more mono or stereo bitmap images or S2PLOT programs. These should be arranged into a simple text file that s2slides will execute. Here is an example (taken from Barnes' 2007 ADASS talk).
