Just as an > experiment, here I am drawing. I think it would probably work if the picture was BIGGER..... (and probably the best size would be very different for different computers...) When I tried holding the space-bar down I accidentally flew too far and marked a large number of unread messaged read and had some trouble finding my way back... I have found another way to animate ascii but when I tried that the animations went much too fast and all you saw was a flicker and then the last picture in the series. Then you could make gif animations of them and even though those are cool I don't want to call them "ascii animations".... I think the new java method is the best so far (of the ones that I have seen) and I also think that in a couple of years java will become more common. I think our greatest problem here is still compatibility between different types of computers. -- :) Veronica Karlsson ( e93-vkn@sm.luth.se http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/ ) ( llizard's animation site: http://jota.sm.luth.se:80/~e93-vkn/docs/ )
