That kind of animation is a little difficult for many people to read now
because it goes so fast. If one puts the frames into a text document and
plays with the window size, one can get it to work finally.

Because I'm lazy, I prefer the Javascript animations. If I want to
e-mail someone the animation, I refer them to the URL. And before anyone
jumps in to say that he NEVER goes onto the web, most people do have
access to the www and use that access.

However, if you really want to look for this kind of animation, maybe if
you do a search of DejaNews (http://www.dejanews.com/home_ps.shtml) for
".vt files" and/or "pagedown animations", you'll find what you're
looking for.


NOTE: I do not pick up my mail from the idirect address that you
see. If you are e-mailing me and hit the reply button, add an "e"
to "freent"; its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
