can
find one please let me know.

Thanks
Bakr

Sorry, no GIF...but here is an "Ascii Carousel" which you are welcome to
animate...

Don't ask me how to animate it because I don't know and I'm far too
lazy to find out and then spend countless hours of work getting the
animation up and running.


However...the following rotating Ascii Globe animation may give you
some clues on how to do it and how much time and effort it might take.

To view this animation:

Save the following uuencoded file to a file named GLOBE.UUE

C> uudecode GLOBE.UUE ( which produces the file GLOBE.ZIP )
C> pkunzip GLOBE.ZIP ( which produces the file GLOBE.ANI )

To view GLOBE.ANI

C> type GLOBE.ANI  ( or use the 'cat' or 'list' command instead of 
                     'type' )

To study how GLOBE.ANI has been made and how it works load a copy
into a text editor or word processor using a monospaced or non-
proportional font.


To make an animation for yourself be prepared to spend countless
hours of hard work in your text editor.


--------------------------------------------------------------------
section 1 of uuencode 4.02 of file GLOBE.ZIP    by R.E.M.

begin 644 GLOBE.ZIP
<encoded_portion_removed>
``
end
sum -r/size 63958/13016 section (from "begin" to "end")
sum -r/size 13133/9275 entire input file
--------------------------------------------------------------------




Oh...and here is some music in a BASIC program which you can
use with your Animated Rotating Carousel...
