I created it by writing a program in Basic in VAX\/VMS to emit the entire escape sequence into a file that could then be &#8220;printed&#8221; out to the screen. I did this either in 1983 or 1984. I was working at RCA Government Communications Systems Division at the time. For a few years I kept a copy of the original code but then on some job transition I lost all the code I wrote at RCA. That entire sequence simply came out of my imagination and desire to have fun with cursor addressing, which was a bit of a hobby of mine at the time.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The video is archived <a href=\"https:\/\/text-mode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/twilight-zone-1983-84-rudy-burkowski-1.mp4\">here<\/a>.
