Well, the way I "grew up with" was ANSIs on PC platforms -- they used the codes understood by ANSI.SYS (basically VT102(?) terminal control codes, AFAIK) for colour and animation. You could do animation by positioning the cursor somewhere else and overwriting. I don't know whether you could affect the speed, though; I think that was mostly done by using the fact that modems are slow :) I used to have an ANSI viewer that let you select speed e.g. "300 bps, 2400 bps" etc. and it would insert time delays so you could watch an animated ANSI without everything happening at once. But that sort of thing is not really ASCII art any more. Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton That really is my address; no need to remove anything to reply. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
