 "   \ ha     It's hard not to be mad at MSIE!

As far as I know, these ASCII-animations work for Netscape Navigator
3.01 and Microsoft Explorer 4.0 that has Javascript enabled. They DON'T
work in MSIE 3.0 because in their wisdom the MSIE people cleverly use a
proportional font in the Javascript window.

Here is an excerpt from my template at
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/animlesson.htm
 :
 : Another important thing, any \ (backslash) in your drawing must
 : be preceded by another \ (backslash) or you will have weird
 : jumps in your animation. The same goes for any " (quotation mark)
 : in the drawing. And apparently, for some people, you must do the
 : same with any < and > (lessthan and greaterthan). Precede each of
 : them with a \ (backslash).
 :
 :  Let's say one of your frame pictures looked like this:
 :
 :                       <")
 :                       ( >\
 :                        " \\
 :                           \      ejm98
 :
 :  This is how the frame would look when your animation was done:
 :
 :                    "                \r\n"+
 :                    "  \<\")         \r\n"+
 :                    "   ( \>\\       \r\n"+
 :                    "    \" \\\\     \r\n"+
 :                    "       \\  ejm98\r",
 :

Here's how one of your frames should look, Martin:

"   |||||  \r\n"+
"  | o o |       .--\r\n"+
"  |  \>  |      /\r\n"+
"  | \\_/ | ----' \r\n"+
"   \\___/        \r\n"+
"  __| |__        \r\n"+
" /  \\_/  \\  mga\r\n",


                 \ 
                  \,^^%---
                  <\/  \ See? It's easy when you know how....
