This file provides a slow-down as you would have had on a real
terminal connected over a serial link. This is useful for
displaying VT100 animated movies as they were meant to be
watched. You can think of it as a rate-limited version of cat
.
% make vbaud # or: cc -o vbaud vbaud.c
% gzip -dc animation.vt.gz | ./vbaud 9600
(There probably is no need to turn on compiler optimizations😉)
Enjoy!
https://ftp.nice.ch/NiCE/vt100.anims/ contains a set of *.vt.gz
files, with
gzipped VT-100 animations. It also tries to give information about the files,
including the creators where known.
pv -L
can be used to rate-limit as well.
