As you know, there is a thread dated sometime in 1996 entitled "vestale.vt.z, part 1/1" It looks like the file was in the uuencoded part that has been deleted. However, perhaps you can find something or someone from those messages to retrieve the actual file. Sadly, 1995 is considered to be eons ago in computer terms. Sorry to hear that you lost the file. I feel your pain. (Somewhere in the cybersmoke that was created a couple of years ago when our computer harddrive suddenly and inexplicably packed in, there was a newly created (foolishly unbacked up) javascript ascii-animation of skiers climbing a hill and skiing downhill - I never had the heart to recreate it.) obascii-art: when I saw this, it reminded me of the catch phrase "Save Early; Save Often" ____________________ _____________ | | | || || | | _ | || || |------| | `-._|\ || || | | | \ ||___________|| | | | _ / | _______ | |------|------.---|_.-' |/ | | __ | | | | | | | | |__|| | |______|______|______| '--|_______|--' Bateau -llizard -- ___ llizard aka ejm llizard@idirec+.ca _/ | ,^%--- |_____| __<_ \ Thanks, Bateau, for the disc. --- == >/ [_____] __>,^ ejm| | //| | http://llizard.crosswinds.net/ascii-art/ NOTE: I never pick up my mail from the yahoo address.
