_ANSI_ art, hey?

Hmm, all sorts of places.  But it depends on what you mean by
ansi :)  Most vt-xxxx terminals have very similar escape
sequences for doing screen things, like moving the cursor about
and setting attributes like colours, bold, blink and so on.

Check out the ascii animations at the Scarecrow's ftp site:

ftp.wwa.com :: /pub/Scarecrow/Animations/ and ../Color/

There's also some to be found at the pc demos ftp sites:

ftp.uwp.edu :: /pub/msdos/demos/ansi/

(not so many there now), and

ftp.cdrom.com :: /pub/demos/incoming/ansi/

However, the "ice" files that used to be there are GONE!!! :-(

I have one of the ice files here (ice-9406.zip, 1161794bytes) and
I have had some of the earlier ones in the past too.  I'm sure
that there were other ones about too, but have now gone (probably
after the demos site moved from hornet.eng.ufl.edu to
ftp.cdrom.com).

Surely they haven't been dumped!  They are nothing like the
spectacular demos put out by Future Crew and the rest of those
graphics wizards, but they were *definitely* good art! :)

Can someone *please* tell me where they have gone to?  They were
*great* examples of ansi art, and they contained some good
ansi-art viewing programs too.

(comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos added to the newsgroups, with follow-ups
redirected back into rec.arts.ascii).

Cheers
Tony
