The first place I ever saw an animation (the only place for that matter)
was on a .plan.  Only unix machines can see these as far as I know.
Mail works just fine, as long as the recipient reads it with the unix
mail command.  A lot of mailers mess them up =] Oh, and instead of
mv animation .plan
you may want to use
cp animation .plan
which will copy it and not rename it =]  emacs is the editor I used to make
my tiny cartoons (availiable upon request) and can be useful for adding
animations to existing plans or v.v.  ctrl-q is "quote character" for most
