Question: Creating animation for .plan

Question: Creating animation for .plan

rec.arts.ascii · 2 messages · 26 Oct 1994 - 27 Oct 1994
So...

Does everyone who writes ASCII actually have DOS systems?  I'm only on 
this Unix account.  How do I go about writing a Unix ASCII animation file 
for my .plan??

I'd really like to make one, but apparently conventional editors don't 
except those commands I've been told to put in there...not that I really 
know any of them anyway, just that <esc>[L is left or something.  It 
won't read the character esc.

Is there some way that I can do this?  Questions/comments?  What do you 
think, sirs?

------- If you want ANSI animation then you have to switch your terminal
to ANSI. Simply type set term=ansi or change it in your .cshrc or .login
file. The terminal has to support ANSI of course...
