My machine does the same, leaving me with shaded blocks, lines and symbols instead of lower case alphabet letters. But most of them are worth the aggravation of having to turn my machine completely off and on again (esp. fireworks.vt). If someone knows a command key to switch the damn symbols back into oblivion so I can read my screen, let me know. :) Best, Me 2=^D

It was created on 28 January by Dave Gordon. What? It doesn't show up on your site? Maybe we should have talked to the alt.config crowd after all. -- Matt Messina mes...@umich.edu

Some sites can't handle big messages... maybe that's the cause of the problem... the messages might be getting truncated before you try to uudecode them ???? Craig. -- :: Craig Shore.

If you are using a modem then you should be also using vt100 (ei filename.vt...hint!) This also applies to HPUX users that are running either AdvanceLink or a standard multisync monitor. TERM=vt103 export TERM (best guess) -Jim-
This seems really simple, but what about us folks who aren't working on UNIX but DOS based machines. I have down loaded all these vt files and now I'm semi-clueless. hhhheeeeellppppp !! hhhheellpppp!! hhhhhheee llpppp!! hhhheellpp hhhheeeeelllllpp!! Can someone out there please help me?
