Yes, yes, I appreciated your animation (still do).

but :

NO, no, no, don't post more!

1. These posts are not pure ascii art 
    (post links instead please)
2. Not every news browser can display
   javascript or HTML

I'm already fed up with downloading these HUGE
postings just for nothing. If you don't want to
be welcomed in everyone's spam-filter, please
stop.

:)

All you have to do is make frames of ascii art... just like they do to
make
cartoons.  After you've done this, you can use javascript to actually
animate the frames.

I have two small programs to help with this:
1st, Ascii Art Animator will animate the frames before you put them into
javascript - so you can modify it more easily:

	See some examples at
	http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Metro/5630/textanim.zip

2ndly, Animation to Hypertext Converter will slap the frames between the
appropriate javascript (making all the appropriate changes to letters
such as change \ to \\).

(You may also want to see a quick FAQ I've made)

Hope this helps.

Wow!! I never saw this post^^^^!!  Just on the slight offchance :)
that someone posted something to me and I never replied.. my
apologies - I never got it.

Just to clear that up... it's not my animation.... I just found it
and slapped it between some javascript.

Well, that is why I added the "[spceship.htm] to the subject of
the file... (I guess I should've mentioned the size though)

Firstly, my apologies to you, andreas, and anyone else who was also
pestered by these animations :)

Secondly, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO don't run me through the spam-filter! I will
stop-nomore-none-absolutelyfinished-notonemoretimeeveniftheworldisabouttobeblownup-nana-finitio-*hic*.

:)

(The thing is, I know many people [including myself] who have quotas on
the amount they can download from the net - but NONE on the amount they
can download from newsgroups - So although they can't get it off the net,
they always read the newsgroups [like li'l 'ol me])
