Entered by orinoco on Wed May 31 21:28:42 UTC 1995:

Ansi animation--those wonderful lil' cartoon things that you can make using 
your arrowkeys.  For a good one, try !cat /u/orinoco/cow.animation.

smileybank seems to be corrupted, and Grex runs so much faster now than the
host did in 1995 that the human eye can't perceive motion. However, you can
see the cow move if you run the file through the slowcat program (thanks to
wayne@sdf.org).

  $ cat ~orinoco/smiley/cow.animation | ~papa/share/bin/slowcat 1

Someone reminded me that you can save a few keystrokes by using redirection:

    $ ~papa/share/bin/slowcat 1 < ~orinoco/smiley/cow.animation
