Superb.  Everything just right.  Even the way his ears flop
up and down as he leaps along !

Forgive me for being stupid, but how do you view these animations.

In article <3qhjka$8c...@miso.wwa.com>, mis...@zippy.dct.ac.uk (BALE STUMPER) says:

Well, first you need a program called UUDECODE.exe (prolly someone here
knows better on where to get it, or if you use a newsreader like WinVNews
you can select the option called "Decode Selected Articles"

Then, once the article is decoded into something called chase.vt (or what
ever) then go into your DOS prompt and "type" it...then watch the show

The first time I ever saw one of these I played it over and over again,
astounded...have fun. Now this is what I call REAL magic.

BTW, how about everyone else stop hoarding their animations and repost
some old ones...a lot of newbies around these days :)
