I ran AVI from Matt Dillon's shell (running in conjunction with ConMan).
It seemed to work OK, but I soon quit using it (didn't even try saving
anything) when I saw how relatively primitive it was (doesn't know about ^
and $ in expressions, represents all unprintable characters as a rectangular
box instead of caret-ing them, etc.)

However, I DID get five checksum errors while I was uudecoding the posted file
(for lines 1 thru 5).  Did anyone else get that?
