I'm trying to recognise something in my crashed zip file:
http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/pics/ascii/problem/disaster.problem
I find some really weird looking things in that file.... Maybe I'm just
tired but some of these things still look like _something_, I just don't
know what.... (hehe, giant "wotsit" competition...?)
Enjoy!
