We really need an FAQ for this newsgroup!  Someone posted a list 
awhile ago, but I can't find it, so I'll just give you my ftp site:

ftp.csua.berkeley.edu in /pub/vt100.animation

I don't know if this is going to be stupid question (please forgive me; I
was just introduced to vt100 animation a few days ago) but I just tried
this ftp site and 1) there wasn't much there; and 2) when I tried to "get"
what WAS there, I got a message that the file was "not a plain file." 
What does this mean and can I still get it?  Are there any other ftp sites
out there?  Thanks!

You probibly tryed typing somthing like "get nice"
or "get not.so.nice".  Those are directories, not files.  If you 
look in those directories, you will find the vt100 animations.
None of the vt100 animations are located in the 
/pub/vt100.animations.  They are located in the further
subdirectories.  This is why you were getting the error "not a 
plain file" using the get command.  The ftp program was right.
It isn't a plain file.  It is a directory.

For those of you who are using a WWW type
program such as lynx or mosaic, you can also try using:

   ftp://ftp.csua.berkeley.edu/pub/vt100.animation
