Does anyone happen to have a copy of Outer Limits? I tried the FTP site at ftp.armory.com, but it seems that the one they have there is not quite complete. Seeing as it stops in the middle of what seems to be the animation. Is it supposed to stop and leave your screen all messed up? Or is it just missing something? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Joshua M Wolf | Signature under construction iwo...@mcmuse.mc.maricopa.edu | --Don't blame me, I just work here ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That is just a thought. If I can find another Outerlimits animation that does not distort, I'll get it to you. --- hel...@deeptht.armory.com ftp.armory.com:/pub/user/hello NO CARRIER

You mean almost like your name, and so forth in full ansi colour? Not all
terminals support that and some even fill the screen with garbage and
make everything unreadable... just a suggestion, try and avoid using ansi
colour on netnews since not everyone is using a terminal that supports ansi.
