[][ hi ...

i have made some ascii-anims ... they (the pictures to be animated)
have been handmade using notepad on win95, which is a generic
fixed-width font text editor ... then the pictures have been fed
into a programme that puts an html-javascript wrapper around it so
that it can be viewed as an animation with any javascript enabled
web-browser

i have also made (a very long time ago) some vt220 animations that
use control-sequence escape codes for use on olde video-terminals
manufactured by Digital Equipment Corp.
... again, these were handmade using a text-editor on a Vax VMS-system
(by trial and error) and were quite complicated but fun also
... i still have copies of some, altho' i don't have a vt220 terminal
at home ... only where i work
this type of animation is very terminal specific

what kind of animation are you referring to ?

     Can I get that program? Is it shareware or did you make it?

[][ hi ....

if you wish to make some of the standard black and white anims... there
are a couple of generators around that can make the task a little easier
for you as follows :-

  ... a dos programme ...
  James_dill's -:- Animation to Hypertext Converter V1.5 -:- 25 kb
  http://www.connect.usq.edu.au/students/q9523004/anim2htm.zip


  ... a windows programme ...
  Alitas y Mediosiglo's -:- Animation Creada - ANA V3.0 -:- 161 kb
  http://www.geocities.com/members/xoom/analia.zip


the two programmes above are ... -:- FREEWARE -:- ... yas!
once you get the hang of them it becomes 'a piece of cake' to make anims

a wrapper programme for the Method-5 code is being developed but is
quite a long way off yet

I don't think a specific Ascii Art Animator Editor exists. The only program I
highly recommand is Gnu Emacs, a powerful text editor (http://www.emacs.org).

Have a look at http://www.loria.fr/~lepetit/mangaribouPlayer.html to see a
sample of what you can do with just this program.
