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?

Simply type set term=ansi or change it in your .cshrc or .login file. The terminal has to support ANSI of course... -- .---. _ .--. : .; : :_; : .-' : ..'.-.--..-..-.--. .--. .--. .--. : `; : : : .--': :: ,. :' ...'' -_.'
