_ANSI_ art, hey?

Hmm, all sorts of places.  But it depends on what you mean by
ansi :)  Most vt-xxxx terminals have very similar escape
sequences for doing screen things, like moving the cursor about
and setting attributes like colours, bold, blink and so on.

Check out the ascii animations at the Scarecrow's ftp site:

ftp.wwa.com :: /pub/Scarecrow/Animations/ and ../Color/

There's also some to be found at the pc demos ftp sites:

ftp.uwp.edu :: /pub/msdos/demos/ansi/

(not so many there now), and

ftp.cdrom.com :: /pub/demos/incoming/ansi/

However, the "ice" files that used to be there are GONE!!! :-(

I have one of the ice files here (ice-9406.zip, 1161794bytes) and
I have had some of the earlier ones in the past too.  I'm sure
that there were other ones about too, but have now gone (probably
after the demos site moved from hornet.eng.ufl.edu to
ftp.cdrom.com).

Surely they haven't been dumped!  They are nothing like the
spectacular demos put out by Future Crew and the rest of those
graphics wizards, but they were *definitely* good art! :)

Can someone *please* tell me where they have gone to?  They were
*great* examples of ansi art, and they contained some good
ansi-art viewing programs too.

(comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos added to the newsgroups, with follow-ups
redirected back into rec.arts.ascii).

Cheers
Tony

They have been FOUND!  iCE now have an official ftp site at:

Bob, why not make a bookmark in your web page for this?  (It's
also worth a mention in the ascii-art faq too, IMHO).

I have heard quite a few people mention the "ice" files.
What are they exactly?
Can they be sent to this newsgroup OR alt.ascii-art (uuencoded) ?

Thanks in advance. advthanxance

I was the one that originally mentioned them, in connection with
ansi art.

>What are they exactly?

A massive collection of ansi art and utilities (and some gif's etc).

>Can they be sent to this newsgroup OR alt.ascii-art (uuencoded) ?

No.  Go and get them from:

freedom.wit.com :: /misc4/ice/

There's also a www link, but if you log in there the .message
that comes up will give you the URL.

They are *good*!

Cheers
Tony
