Others have *no way* of knowing how many lines your browser or mail
program considers a "screen," and if the space bar does anything besides
scroll through the current message you should *never* hold it down long
enough for it to start auto-repeating.

You almost always have to save the animation to a file, adjust the
spacing between frames, and view it with a program you know well. This
will work on whatever kind of computer you have.

"Space-bar animation" is not the best term for these pics. I can use the
space bar when viewing them on Usenet through my browser, but in both my
Unix text editor and my DOS word processor I use Ctrl-C to scroll them.
