You mean folks actually read this stuff _on-line_ ? EEK !
I thought everyone used their newsreaders to tag and save messages,
download them and read off-line. That way you can diddle your page
up/page down animations to fit your screen.
I've seen those page breaks in postings but never knew why they were
there.
I use the TIN newsreader but hardly ever read stuff on-line. I only
have 90 minutes a day access time so I select, tag and save stuff as
fast as I can. My Public Access Site then bundles and archives my
selections for me to download - then it is over to me.
Ah well, here is an Xmas scene flicker animation which makes the
fire flicker by rapid page up/page down movements - also watch the
face at the window.
Also added is the Tree Variant sequence diddle that I did recently.
On an 80 column x 24 row monochrome monitor Page-down should show
the changes in the tree whilst the tree remains static on the
screen.
Sometimes removal or addition of a blank row between pictures is
enough to achieve exact registration on each page up/page down.
