dragon animation

What does this eventually get around to doing?  My server may be slow or 
something, but I sat through what seemed like an hour of "A Heroic Tale:"

Does it do something else later?

Yes it most certainly does, and yes we believe it is worth the wait. We
tested it on numerous machines around here and are aware of just how
slow it can go - compared to say 10 seconds in a shelltool on a Sun
workstation. 
Have faith, give it time, enjoy!

Or if you really cannot abide waiting that long (and have a editor that
doesnt remove all the spaces at the end of lines) edit the "dragon" file
to remove the bulk of the <control>H's that come directly after the
title page.  They take up about two-thirds of the file! The <control>H's
return the cursor to the top of the page and on fast machines keep the
said title page up for sufficiently long to read it (just).
:) have fun!

Well, appartently it DOES do something!  :)

That was rad.  Quite the good animation, I must say.

I wish I could say that our system ran it too slow like you guys but
I blinked and it was over.

Will nothing slow our mainframe down???

ps. cat -u doesn't do anything either
