Good point. I just added a pause-button to mine. Now
copy and paste will work.

For the animations made by others:
Save the page to a local file "test.html". I guess you want to
copy just a single picture. Some Ascii might be difficult to copy 
out of the source though.
Then you can modify the Javascript code to show just one
picture. Somewhere you'll find something like :


document.f.t.value=tl[x];        
x++; if(x==max) x=0;        
setTimeout("tick()",70);  }    //--></script>  

Just put a // in front of setTimeout, make a new line
for the "}   //-->" etc. and replace the x in tl[x] with 
the number of the picture you'd like to see. 
E.g. :

document.f.t.value=tl[24];        
x++; if(x==max) x=0;        
//setTimeout("tick()",70);    
}    //--></script>

Open the file with your browser and you can copy your snapshot
with copy and paste.

Hope that helps. 

Andreas
