Re: Use this to slow down view of ascii anims (UNIX)

Use of usleep etc.

A much simpler and almost certainly much more portable method (and one that
could be done in almost any language) would be to output a number of NUL
characters after _each_ character output.  The more NULs the slower it goes!
I think almost any operating system/terminal will cope with this.

Just a suggestion.
