I was trying to make an ascii art movie that can just be 'cat'ed on a vt100-compatiible terminal today, but I ran into a problem. A movie which is supposed to take a good two minutes whizzes by in just a second on my xterm. How can I slow things down? As an experiment I added about 100k of nulls bewteen frames but that didn't slow it down all that much. Elijah ------ has 500 frames of an mpeg converted to ascii art (by a program)

How can I slow things down? If it's the type which has plain ascii frames with an ansi code between them you could pipe it through a script which paused before printing the ansi code. Or you could start netscape before cat-ing the file. :) -- _ ___ David Riley - {dave@,http://www.}dmriley.demon.co.uk ___ _ |=| |:-)|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|:-)| |=| |:| |___| "There's no film.
