This is the beginning of his attempt to animate the entire Episode IV (A New Hope). I e-mailed the author and told him to come join us in alt.ascii-art.animation; he had no idea we existed! Unfortunately the Java version only seems to work on Netscape Navigator for Windows (and Linux, with a bit of hackery); on MacOS and various Unixes it doesn't seem to work. However, instructions on viewing it using C, perl, elisp, and probably a couple of other languages can be found if you trawl through the Slashdot comments at http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=99%2F05%2F22%2F1341217 -- you'll need the jar utility for decompressing Java archives, though.
