  Subj: Tank animation program
  Date: Tue Nov 12 1991

As if there aren't enough of these already...

Here is another HP48s status line animation.  You will see a tank come rolling
onto the screen.  Then another... Then the first tank blows the second away!
Then he calmly rolls off the screen.  Of course, the contents of PICT are not
disturbed.  You can exit early by pressing ON.

TANK: Bytes
# 172Eh
 1375.5

Included is TANK.SRC -- The entire program is written in RPL, take a look at
it, change it, etc... ( You know, I-don't-care-ware). Also there is
TANK.ASC.

By the way... are people really interested in these cute little animations?
I have seen a few pop up, so I wrote this in about 2 hours.  I could do tons
more, but I don't suppose everyone wants to be swamped with status line
animations.  I haven't had the courage to take on another massive project like
the factory animation, but one day I will write a 131 by 64 giant animation
to eat up all my RAM.

If anyone has a similar idea they would like me to write, let me know... I'm
always looking for ideas.

Enjoy!
