        But it doesn't _move_... I wanted to see the little discs lifting up 
off their spindles and floating over to their positions... Okay, so maybe I 
pick nits...

If you have GNU Emacs, try "M-x hanoi".  To change the number of
disks, "C-u 17 M-x hanoi", for example.  17 disks takes a *long* time:
131072 moves.  At one move every 2 seconds, that's 3 days.

Ohmygod, it *does* do that!  Looks pretty decent, too.  Cripes, is there
anything that *isn't* in Emacs? :-)

When I originally started the animation it was to do just that...however,
it took long enough to draw the basic arrangements.
With 31 moves and lets say 4 moves of the disk going up, 4 going across,
and another 4 to move down, it means another...372 drawings. Lets
face it... I decided to take the easy option and imagine the movement<grins>.
However, if some kind soul has the time then please feel free to add
to it.

Chris.
