    Actually, they are already "gone" at my site...

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,

Unfortunately, mine went at a speed at which it is all garble.  How do
you slow it down?

The group is called alt.ascii-art.animation.  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.

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 ????

WARNING:  This may not be true!  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)

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?
