Hey, Talisman-ers,

Today I rolled up a little Talisman mod... I was looking for a quick
way to throttle ANSI art scrolling speed (like the way Mystic has this built-in), and just hacked together this lil' program. And I mean, it's brain-dead simple.

- runs as a door program
- grabs a random ANSI file from a folder
- displays it, but throttled. I have it set to about ~9600baud emulation.
- if the user hits a key, it exits/aborts

You can see it on The Drunken Gamer BBS as part of the login sequence (just posting from here on AlphaComplex, as I'm having ftn config issues over there righ now, ugh).

thedrunkengamer.com:8888

It's a door, so theoretically it'd run on any BBS. I've only compiled to Linux, but happy to share the repo if anyone wants it. But assuming if you are running Mystic or whatever you wouldn't need this...

Cheers,
