I�m not an expert in these things, but i think the problem
lies on the fact that the finger information flows thought
text mode, 7 bit information, and the animations have
control characteres that use the 8th bit.

That is whay the vt files must be uuencoded at the news!

What is hapening to you is that when you finger youself
you see the "animation", but the 8th bit of the caracteres
is always "0", the result is a screen full of trash!
