Ahem, I have no idea how this works. Do I have to use a specific OS
(e.g. Unix or something like that)?
I am using MS-DOS (sorry). :)
What do I have to do to watch the animation?

In tin use Save, Article, cow.asc, None. Now shell out and type
cat cow.asc

Works for me!

I just copied the exploding_cow.asc file to .plan and set the appropriate
protection bits, fingered myself and it seems to work. Also got other
people to do it and it worked on them too.

the cow file has also been my plan for a few months now.
I typed mv cow .plan
the only hitch is that people have to have vt100 emulation to actually 
see the animation.

: Same here! The exploding cow is now part of my finger! :)

I seem to have missed the exploding cow file.. :-(

Would someone be able to mail it to me, or repost? I would LOVE to have 
this in my .plan file!!

When I mv the exploding cow to my plan all that happens when one finger 
me is that the commands scroll by.  How do i fix this?

Wait, help a person who needs help.  How do you set the prtotection bits?
What are protection bits?  I'm on a UNIX system.  Help.
