Re: ANIMATED ASCII ???? POSSIBLE ???

Well, there are a couple of Java Applet builders that would let you
annimate ASCII art. The Applets are made by Coffee Cup Software 
(www.coffeecup.com) and can be downloaded from:

http://download.tucows.com/partners/coffeecup/

The first one is called "Applet Marquee Wizard" (3.5 ver at ths time).
This one is a little bit more envolving because you have to make
each "frame" of annimation a different marquee that will be played.

The second one is "Applet Headline Factory" (4.0 ver right now).
This is a bit easier, because you can create a text file contains
a "flip book/page down" annimation affect, and then have the
headline applet load that text file.

I have used both of these and they are simple to grasp.  They are also
not that big on downloads (headline is like 700k, marquee is like
1.15mb).
