[ Hilarious story ] Back in ye olde Usenet days, someone had an animated .plan which was all about the "Andalusian snail" (the "@" character was the snail). It used ANSI escape sequences, showing it in the 25th line (the "status" line), and was quite funny. Of course, you had to have the right speed; too fast, and it just zipped past, and too slow, well, it, just crawled along :-) ISTR that 9600 was about right. Anyone remember that? Oh, my .plan in those days said "To rid the world of Intel chips" (sorry Clem, but this was back in the days of Intel vs. Moto). It now reads "To rid the world of M$ software" but these days the finger service is generally blocked. -- Dave --1483753691-235722516-1581018929=:33501--
