Right, everyone. Lesson time! :)

If you are using Windows, get a copy of Winzip, the excellent
shareware programme which encompasses both DOS and UNIX archiving
methods such as PKZIP, GZIP, etc. If you're UNIX-only, search for the
UNIX proggies that will unzip UNIX archives. If you can't find them,
ask your friends at uni.

Once you've unarchived the .vt files, shell to DOS (or whatever) and
type 'type filename.vt'. If the resulting animation scrolls too
quickly, slow it down by turning off the turbo switch or using the
'more' switch.

At last I have something useful to contribute instead of just lurking
and leeching! :-)
