PROBE.ARC
There is a unique animation out called PROBE.ARC that runs for
several minutes. To summarize, a space probe is sent to Alpha Centauri
in search of life forms. The probe scans a planet in the system,
sending back photos (ala Voyager). The probe identifies a skull
on the planet's surface and begins an interesting reconstruction
of what it thinks the creature looked like when it was alive. This
is a "must have" animation! Be forewarned, its nearly 500 Kbytes
in length. I'll copy anyone who sends me a blank formatted diskette.
Make sure it is FORMATTED.

I've seen the file descriptor for 'PROBE.ARC' on PLINK. This was
actually used as the storyline for a PBS program on space voyages.
What is your mailing address? I'd like to get a copy.

I forgot - you also need PROBE.README which was a separate file
and since I'm too lazy to do an ARC A it remains a separate file.

I DL probe.arc last night. It did take forever. Anyway, I followed
the directions in the readme file, executed execute.me to
rename the files, and executed exec.me to run the thing. Well, it
can't load smallfont.font. I set up the directories as in the
readme file, so what did I do wrong? I really want to see this
thing.

Did you do EXACTLY what it said in the README? I thought that I
had done it too, and this same thing bit me. Go through and recheck
the things that you did.
