Seriously, if you're on Unix just uudecode and then "cat" the thing. If you're on MS-DOS make sure you have a line like "DEVICE=ANSI.SYS" or "DEVICEHIGH=ANSI.SYS" in your CONFIG.SYS file. Then just "type" the animation. You probably see garbage on your screen because of the different text styles under Unix and DOS. If this is the case then use "flip.exe" from FLIP1EXE.ZIP to convert the file to the appropriate system. Be sure to use the binary switch because there could eventually be a loss of escape sequences. If you have more questions on this, wait 'til monday when the FAQ is posted or finger to boba@gagme.wwa.com (Bob Allison). -- \|/ @ @ ------------------oOO-(_)-OOo----------------------------------------------- ... c u l8er ...
