        TheDraw is available at oak.oakland.edu in

	It's a DOS program for ANSI drawing/animation.  You probably
	could use a subset of its functions for VT animation.

	I'm kind of surprised that no one's written a full-blown macro
	package for emacs though.


: (Vt animation is one kind of ASCII animation--the other would be a  
: program that animates when run (not typed).)

 	I'm not sure I grok this.  A c program would have to be
	compiled for each platform.  Even a shar would be less than
	universal.  (However, if I was to distribute a c program to
	a newsgroup like this I support a shar would be the way to go.
