[18] What is ascii-animation?
========================================================================
An animated image produced by a sequence of changing ASCII pictures.
The speed will depend on the system you are using.

Ascii-Animation transports vary a lot. The earliest known portable
types used the Control-Codes of the (often .VT or .ANS) terminal
screens for either `paging' or `direct cursor addressing'.
Sometimes found as c-code in .sigs, which, when compiled and run
produce moving patterns or images.
