SLOWING DOWN ANIMATION

A while back someone posted a program for which can be used for slowing
down animations.  I have yet to try it so I cannot say one way or the 
other.  However, I have another program called slow_cat which is 
also used to slow down animations, but I haven't seen it work yet!!!!

Hopefully this one which I am reposting will do....

ENJOY!

If you're interested, you can roll your own usleep() using select():

#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

void
my_usleep(usec)

int                     usec;

{
        struct timeval  timeout;

        timeout.tv_sec = usec / 1000000;
        timeout.tv_usec = usec % 1000000;

        while ((select(0, (fd_set *) 0, (fd_set *) 0,
                (fd_set *) 0, &timeout) < 0) && (errno == EINTR));
}

Hope this helps.
