Hi y'all

I've added some buttons to animations:

play  - play the animation
pause - stop the animation on its current frame
stop  - stop the animation and go back to the first frame
next/previous - next/previous frame
faster/slower - set animating speed (in fps) faster/slower
show  - show all frames of the animation
reset - reset speed and framenumber

and a statusbar showing:

status: running/stopped
speed: in fps (Frames Per Second)
frame now of total

An example can be found at: 

http://huizen.dds.nl/~shimrod/asciiart/animation/fighting.html
(BTW: no link to this can as yet be found on my ascii page)

Other artists might consider adding these to their animations too.
If anyone needs help doing this, mail me.

Greetz, (new sig! finally...)
