: someone posted a conversion of a sequence from T2 a while ago. it
: wasn't a very clean conversion, so it was pretty hard to see.

: what I'm wondering is if anyone's interested in making some sort of
: standard for ascii animation, so it can be displayed in a
: device-independent manner and with a controlled frame rate. relying
: on vt100 codes and arbitrary computer delays is kind of awkward..

: does anyone think ascii animation is worth developing into a more
: "polished" form?

I have looked at three or four and was not too mprssd. So I made one; it use
the ANSI control sequences for a dos based machine (everyone has that) it also
uses a batch file for looping. Just type 'type filename' to run it by itself
or type the batch file name for continuous play. Search for ANIMATION :
by Lyle Murphy under one of the ascii.??? groups; I posted to a couple. I think we should stick to Dos with either straight ANSI and Batch file ANSI.
