Nice try, but not everybody's screen scrolls exactly 17 lines when they hit the space bar. I will post an old, old picture of a spinning globe for screens that scroll 23 lines at a time. Works great in Lynx. (Actually when it was first posted it contained ANSI codes to clear the screen between frames. I took those out, though I suspect they will still work in most of the programs people use to read Usenet.) Dan Strychalski dsk...@cameonet.cameo.com.tw

Even on systems with a fixed 24-by-80 text-based display, different programs use different numbers of lines for text. > When I tried holding the space-bar down I accidentally flew too far and > marked a large number of unread messaged read and had some trouble > finding my way back... Super-old no-frills news readers will do that. There's nothing wrong with using such programs, but you really ought to scroll through the animation *slowly* the first time to check it out. > I have found another way to animate ascii but when I tried that the > animations went much too fast and all you saw was a flicker and then the > last picture in the series.

Space-bar animations, I'm sure, are the oldest. Then we had ANSI animations; then HTML animations; then GIF; and now Java.... Somehow I doubt Java will become universal (by which I mean as widespread as ASCII) or, even if it does, that it will remain so for very long. > I think our greatest problem here is still compatibility between > different types of computers. That's why the "space-bar" method is best, at least in this newsgroup. Sooner or later everyone learns how to download any interesting picture to their own machine, and then they can make it work in the software they use. The diver animation that someone recently posted looked good, but the vertical spacing was unsuitable for my screen, so I downloaded it and added blank lines for the hardware and software I use. Now I can retrieve it with my favorite editor and enjoy it at any time. Dan Strychalski dsk...@cameonet.cameo.com.tw

A fellow sent me an altered version of the small one I had tried, altered by adding a whole lot of frames. I gather that it worked for him. But all that happened here was that a whole lot of frames whooshed by and sent me to the next e-mail in the in-box. So I have to agree that the Java scripted ones work the best by far. You're right. It's a shame that Mac/IBM/Microsoft Explorer are so busy competing and insulting each other that they can't see the merits of making themselves compatible with each other. NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent"; its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers. -- ___ ha Here I am _/ | ,^%--- ha working on getting my |_____| __ > \ha OWN homepage to take up band width --- == -- > [_____] __>,^ llizard aka ejm | | //| | cq5...@freenet.toronto.on.ca

I would have to agree with Dan. The space-bar ascii look
very good. I especially liked the diver, but I too
copied the file over to PFE ( a notepad like progam)
and adjusted the lines and the window size to suit the
default page-down.

So I have to agree that the Java > scripted ones work the best by far. Others have *no way* of knowing how many lines your browser or mail program considers a "screen," and if the space bar does anything besides scroll through the current message you should *never* hold it down long enough for it to start auto-repeating. You almost always have to save the animation to a file, adjust the spacing between frames, and view it with a program you know well. This will work on whatever kind of computer you have. "Space-bar animation" is not the best term for these pics. I can use the space bar when viewing them on Usenet through my browser, but in both my Unix text editor and my DOS word processor I use Ctrl-C to scroll them.

In pretty much the same way as Excel or Lotus are 'calculator' like programs,

I believe that is why you can't view those Java animations with Explorer. From memory, MS uses Active X (or for the less sexy name OLE 3) for its applications.

Hmmmm..... keeping their own standards is not the way to increase popularity! Especially not now when the internet is getting popular and more people are beginning to feel the consequences of incompatibility.
