I DL'ed that (at http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~brain/0verkill/), and played around for a
little while... that is a pretty cool program (though I haven't actually got it running 100%
yet)!  However, an actual program, even just redone, I think would be very difficult to do
while still trying to include the majority of artists here in the newsgroup.  JavE, however,
is a fairly user-friendly tool that would keep things simple (i.e. feasible), IMHO.  Movies,
I'm guessing, are familiar to most of us, so we would already have a common ground to stand
on.  In the thread at news:alt.ascii-art.animation, Joey (Johannes 'Joey' Roessel) suggested
Matrix as a good one to start with.  Any thoughts on that one?

Cheers,
