Does anyone remember the "DEC Shooting Gallery" animation?  Back in the 70's,
the early days of computing, the Computing Centre of our university had some
PDPs 11/34 and 11/45, which ran RT-11, RSX-11M, or even DOS.  I remember
having an ASCII file with ANSI control sequences which produced a nice
animation on our VT100s and compatible CIT-101s of a gun, located a the
bottom of the screen, shooting grenades at spaceships, coming from the left,
while displaying nice clouds with some phrases like "sh*t" or "da**ed* when
it had missed the ships.

Since I can't find it anymore, I like to know if it's still around somewhere.

Thanks in advance,
