... could someone please uuencode COMMAND.COM? Just kidding. 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 bob...@gagme.wwa.com (Bob 
Allison).
