People are always asking how to slow down Ascii Animations on
fast computers. Don't let the name ANSI put you off because it
works quite OK with Ascii animations.
I have posted, today ( 3/1/97 ), under the title SLOWANSI.ZIP, a
public domain program (uuencoded) which works to the newsgroups:
alt.binaries.pictures.ascii
alt.ascii-art.animation
========================================================================
SlowANSI by James Terhune
========================================================================
Usage:
SLOWANSI <filename> -s100
Where <filename> is the ANSI file name (without the <>'s) and -s is
the slowdown factor. The bigger the slowdown factor, the slower it goes.
During the show, pressing the +/- keys will slow it down/speed it up
in steps of 25 respectively. Pressing ESC will get you out.
Version 1.2 - July 25 1995 - Public Domain - Sourcecode Included
Questions, comments, etc... to jte...@mi.net or q83...@unb.ca
========================================================================
If you like the program please write and thank the author...hopefully
his address will not have changed since he wrote the program in 1995.
Bye,
