"Advanced" FLI

Argh, can't take this term. It's the least advanced of all FLI modes. Only 2 colors per byte, and nothing else to worry about. In multicolor FLI you also have the background color and char colors, so that is definitely more advanced.

I always called it "Hires FLI". What's wrong with that?

Using the term "single color" for normal hires bitmap is a blasphemy. :-)

i have to go with the hungarians and their way of pronouncing it as FLEE.

next level: find out how ifli is pronounced. i guess a virtual kick in the nuts is prepared for those who actually try to come up with something like EYEFLEYE just because it's supposed to be internationally understandable. :D

Guess the pronounciation depends on which language you speak. If I speak Danish I say "flee" (with a short ee-sound) and in English I say "fly". So in English IFLI is definitely "I fly", and I might even say that in a Danish context as well.

@TCH: Hard to change? Not for CSDb at least. Something like this should do it...

update gfx_modes set name='Hires FLI' where name='Advanced FLI'
