Hi, I have made 9 ascii animations... 3 being this year for teh first tiem in 4 years... Anyway, 2 of the anims i made were over 800k and when going to dos through windows on my computers at work and using the type commadn they run nicely, but if i use them on my computer here they go too bloody fast. Anyway, what i was wondering is is if there is a program to slow down animations so they are viewable? perhaps is there a new type command that offers a speed limit option? Can somebody please let me know. Oh, and if anybody wants any of my animations, I'll list them. 6 of the 9 are peverted, the last one i made being teh best peverted one. Peverted: Safesex.vt - 93 ThatNite.vt -93 Orbit.vt - 93 Charles.vt - 93 FlyHigh.vt - 93 R&C.vt - 97 The normal ones: BBPlanet.vt - 93 SmokeShp.vt - 97 (by far the best work i've done) Poem.vt -97 .. this last one may not interest people.. It's an animation from me to my girlfriend. Anyway, laters and thanks if you can help

I found that method so annoying that I am using javascript now exclusively (which is no doubt annoying for other people). However, there is a template for the javascript animation at: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/animlesson.htm Of course, if you don't have Netscape 3.0 or MSIE 4.0 that has javascript enabled, it will be entirely useless to you and I apologize in advance.
