Most of the code is from the AsciiPacker class form the open source JMOV
player applet. Other parts are from the original Javascript player. We
have added code for the sleep time between two frames and a new frame
compression format "D" (that almost only makes sense with 'making of'
movies): It only can be used when the difference between two subsequent
frames are a few characters in a single line.

I am looking forward to it. BTW: I am also looking forward for the next
release of JavE ;-) Still a lot of things to be done...

Hm, I have tested it in IE, NS and Opera. I had a good feeling for the
correctness of the code for Opera is not that good on JavaScript...
Can you find the problem with Mozilla?
