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.
