Gosh! (Blush) What can I say? (Grin) ;-)

As if!!! Thought it was very, very cool. I wish I had both the time and the
skill to write some animations of my own, I guess I'll just have to leave it
to you!

One minor quibble, why didn't you put your name in the animation file?
I've noticed that most of the animation files I've seen on alt.ascii-art
don't have an artist's name. Considering the work that goes into these vt
files, it seems such a shame not to have a record of who drew (wrote?) them.
After all, I just drew the first frame - you did most of the hard work.
 

: Enjoy!

Yep, I did!

: For those of you who don't know how to view an animation:
: 1) Save this article to a file called bike.vt.uu
: 2) Use an editor to remove all the lines before the begin line, including
: the "--- cut here ---", so that the first line of the file is "begin 644.."
: 3) Uudecode the file. Do the following command at the prompt (unix):
:   uudecode bike.vt.uu
: 4) View it by typing this command: cat bike.vt

: Enjoy!



Or if you use MSDOS: 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Save this article to a file called bike.uue

2) Use an editor to remove all the lines before the begin line, 
  including the "--- cut here ---", so that the first line of the 
  file is "begin 644.." 
  ( with most versions of uudecode this is not necessary. UUdecode 
    can be done on the raw file with headers and sigs still attached ).  

3) Uudecode the file. Do the following command at the DOS prompt :

   C> uudecode bike.uue  
      ( this produces the file bike.vt in UNIX format ) 

4) Convert line endings from UNIX to MSDOS using a CRLF conversion 
   program, such as FLIP.EXE ( there are other CRLF converters ).

   C> flip -mbv bike.vt  
      ( this produces the file bike.vt in MSDOS format ).

5) View it by typing this command: 

   C> type bike.vt
