What program is needed to view an animated ascii drawing or
anything related.  I have just recently figured out how to uudecode
and now I am confused as to what to do with a decoded animated ascii
sequence.

   After you uudecode, and possibly uncompress, all you do is 'cat' it.  
On mast Unix based system, you just type "cat" and the file name of the 
animation you want to see.  That's it.

It depends on the system you are using.  Very briefly

Unix : cat filename
DOS  : type filename

DOS needs device=ansi.sys in config.sys

Hope this helps
