It does create real life feeling I agree, but maybe lite version
would be useful too for those on slow modems ?
Actually all of your pictures are screen shots of 80X25 (?) VGA
screen, ASCII symbol and color. I'd just bet the money that it can
be compressed to hell less, be day light distribution and curvature
of the monitor together with its boundaries given smaller priority
in compression. I vagually remeber reading something about already
existing compressor being able to do it. I can dig in comp.compression
if there is any interest.
