It is a gif animation. A gif animation cannot be an ascii animation. It
can look like one but it can't _be_ one.

I still think that PC's stuff doesn't belong in _this_ group (but
PLEASE, let's not bring up _that_ discussion again, check Dejanews...).
A gif is a gif, even if it looks like ascii. The javascript ascii
animations and coloured html ascii images still have their "core" of
ascii, a gif, animated or not, doesn't.
