[][ hi ...

in the old days ... like 10-20 years ago ... you couldn't get an
IBM PC to go fast enough to make much of a difference

i first got an i486 around 1991 that did run the ansi-anims too fast
and to view them properly i had to slow the cpu from the bios or
run a tool called 486slow.com

i haven't seen _any_ new ansi-anims made after about 1992 altho'
ansi-ascii pics are still quite abundant

i have discovered that recent remakes or conversions of ansi.sys
have timing elements in them
