[NEW] headache.VT - animation of a bad 'head' day

The following uuencoded portion of this article is the compressed
form of the ANSI animation entitled 'headache'.

After saving this article and decoding the text, make sure that 
your screen is configured for ANSI color emulation.  To slow down
the animation I recommend displaying without decompressing by 
using 'gzcat' or other slowing program if decompressed.  (Slowing
down the animation is essential on faster computers:  Without
slowing on my 75Mhz pentium, the bulk of the animation is a blur.
On my 386, it is quite nicely visible.)

The animation was created by a perl script as a part of another
animation project that I am working on.  It runs in a region that 
is 79 columns wide and 24 lines long and is best viewed on a black 
screen.  Though seamless in appearance, the animation consists of 
two parts:  The opening 'throbbing-head' part is white on black 
and the final 'seeing-stars' part overlays a little touch of color.
The final frame has been separately posted as it seems to have
artistic merit of its own.  Please do not delete or alter the title 
or credits on this or any other ASCII art work.

A friend of mine who experiences migraines periodically said that 
I had done a good job of capturing what for her could be called 
'a really bad *head* day.'  Indeed, someone else thought that
if one didn't have a headache, that this animation might just
give him one.  So be *careful* when you view it.  ;-S
