[NEW] headache.ANS - last frame of the 'headache' ANSI anima

[NEW] headache.ANS - last frame of the 'headache' ANSI animation

alt.ascii-art · 6 messages · 18 Jun 1996 - 21 Jun 1996

The following uuencoded portion of this article is the last frame 
of an ANSI animation entitled 'headache'.

After saving this article and decoding the text, make sure that 
your screen is configured for ANSI color emulation and use the
appropriate command (for example, 'cat') to view the image which
is 79 columns wide and 24 lines long and is best viewed on a black
screen.  Please do not delete or alter title or credits.

A friend of mine who experiences migraines periodically said that 
I had done a good job of capturing what for her could be called 
'a really bad *head* day.'  What do you think?

I will post the full-animation in a subsequent article and tell
about how it was created.

If you wish to contact me personally, please send e-mail to:

    sam...@cis.uab.edu

Enjoy !!!

Nope it wouldn't because it would all have to be UUencoded...ANSI
characters don't travel well across the Net...like Control Codes
and Escape Codes !  ANSI works OK on local BBSs.

Bye,

Yes sure, but the .ZIP file is a binary file composed of machine code
so it would have to be UUencoded anyway.

The place to post such a file would be:

               alt.binaries.pictures.ascii

Not much gets posted to that newsgroup !

Yeah, but you'd still have to UUencode it to be able to post it.  And what's
the point of compressing something, then converting it, over and over?  Anyway,
there are ftp sites for .zip files...
