I believe that is why you can't view those Java animations with Explorer. From memory, MS uses Active X (or for the less sexy name OLE 3) for its applications. Since it is the most popular Operating System around, MS tries to keep its own standards. I still think copying the space-bar ascii animation to notepad, then adjusting your window size or adding lines as necessary to align the picture for page-down works quite well! , , / \/ \ (/ //_ \_ .-._ \|| . \ \ '-._ _,:__.-"/---\_ \ ______/___ '. .--------------------'~-'--.)__( , )\ \ `'--.___ _\ / | Shanaka Dias ,' \)|\ `\| /_.-' _\ \ _:,_ Curtin University " || ( .'__ _.' \'-/,`-~` Western Australia |/ '. ___.> /=,| | / .-'/_ ) |email: edias@alpha1.curtin.edu.au| snd )' ( /(/ |_________________________________| \\ " '==' http://www.ece.curtin.edu.au/~shanaka
