I have a meager collection of maybe 700K. There must be more megs of GIFs out there than cycles in a second on a VAX.. :-) Can anyone point me to free sources? (IE, who wants to pay Compu$erve fo someone else's art?) I'm on a UNIX; is FTP only for BITNETters, or is it UNIX? How would I use it to swipe freebies? What about UUCP? (I know my mail and my news, but file transfer besides emailing is a mystery to me. :-) --Jon -- jonh@tekgen.bv.tek.com (503) MAK-SEMA Jon Howell | Q: How come they never // // // _ __ _ . . . . ___ . _ | play that on the radio? // // // / \(_ __ (_) |\/| /| |\ | | /| / | A: They should. // // // \_/__) / | | /"| | \| _|_ /"| \_ | --Dave Barry ---------- The list below was not generated by me but will answer your question. I have found hubcap to be the best source by far as they have an excellent supply of 256 color GIFs. Grape is a close second. See the man page for help with ftp. To do anonymous ftp, log in as user 'anonymous' with any password. Most systems request you use you mail address as a password.
