I suggest you not do this. VT animations will only display properly on a
VTxxx or compatable terminal, but not everyone uses VT terminals and they
won't play properly and could potentially cause damage.

I would like to know if there is a way in which I can include on of the
recently posted .vt animations files into my .plan . I tried it by (using
pico) reading in the animation file into my .plan file, but all that came
out on the screen was the actual vt-100 codes in text format, not as an anim.
BUT, if I cat'ted the .plan file, the anim worked?
Thanx in advance 
BD

You probably did everything right.  A lot of finger daemons treat local 
fingers and outside fingers differently.  If you finger you...@your.site, 
it might work.
