Well, half way through it makes all the characters bigger and 
no longer allows me to have 25 or 50 lines on the screen saying my 
computer doesn't support them. I have a PC. What's going wrong?

Same thing happened to me. The animations work differently on different
machines. Many are written for VAX or unix. I had to edit out all the commands
that had lower case h or l in them, and delete the entire second half. Even
then, the truck does a kind of mitosis near the end.

Maybe someone out there can describe how to clean these animations up for PC
users.
