Coward !  :-)

Did your mother never tell you that you must always uuencode anything which
contains Escape codes, machine language, binary files, extended IBM
characters and ANSI characters ?

If she didn't, and you don't - things are going to get munged and mangled as
your message travels through the intricate network of cyberspace with all
its differences in software and hardware and access site policies.

Get yourself a copy of Richard Marks UUENCODE/DECODE program available from
many FTP sites near you. UUENCODE/DECODE is as important as your keyboard
and your brain - you need them all.

Oh yes....please tell your Mum all about this too !   :-) :-)

Bye,

O.K....I'm tired of getting flamed!

To clear things up.....

1. someone posted an animation without ANY escaape characters
2. I was nice and put the escape characters back in, and then reposted it
   BUT...I didn't think to UUEncode it.
3. I DID (I emphasize DID) uuencode it, reposted it AGAIN, and I still got 
   a complaint that it couldn't be seen.
4. To check it, I extracted my UUEncoded version from the group, decoded it,
   ran it, and it worked fine.  

At This (and only this point) I gave up because I figuered I must have been
dealling with an IDIOT that didn't know how to UUDEcod because I knew it was
right and even covered my ass be checking it.  So please, just shut the F*CK up
and do things for yourself if your only gonna' complain about them.

Sincerely....
