[][ hi ... try some of these ...


 here is a URL to a java applet that animates ...

 David Riley made a java-based ascii-tv about a year ago:
  http://www.dmriley.demon.co.uk/download/asciitv/asciitv-readme.txt
  http://www.dmriley.demon.co.uk/download/asciitv/asciitv.zip
  http://www.dmriley.demon.co.uk/download/asciitv/asciitv.tar.gz


 here are URLs for javascript that animates ...

 Llizard's -:- JavaScript Animation-Code Template and Tutorials -:-
  http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/animlesson.htm#top

 Alberto's -:- Animation to Hypertext Converter ANALIA v2,2 - 161Kb -:-
  http://members.xoom.com/albertopsq/analia.zip (does colour in Netscape4 only)

 James_dill's -:- Animation to Hypertext Converter Version 1.5 - 25kb -:-
  http://www.connect.usq.edu.au/students/q9523004/anim2htm.zip (no colour)

 Danny Goodman's -:- Javascript/DHTML homepage - reference bible -:-
  http://www.dannyg.com/index.html


 ... you can also see some of my home-made experiments with ascii-animation
 in both black/white and colour ... all work on both Netscape and Explorer ...
 preferably a version 4 browser with javascript enabled ...

 method-3 ... http://www.shieldwolf.demon.co.uk/anim/colorM3.htm
 method-4 ... http://www.shieldwolf.demon.co.uk/anim/colorM4.htm
 or  this ... http://www.shieldwolf.demon.co.uk/anim/doggy.htm

 [method-3 and method-4 also work on version 3 browsers ...
  ... altho' your milage may vary]


 ... or ...

 heres an example using a few pics rippd from here a couple of weeks ago ...

 cut this next code-segement ** Method-5 ** and feed it into Ie4 or Ns4
