GIFs - where to find them

[vishal@ra.csc.ti.com (Vishal Markandey)]

I have received several queries about locating Kate GIFs in the archives.
Sorry I didn't respond sooner - I have been busy on Ecto (the Happy Rhodes 
mailing list :) and I don't read Gaffa on a regular basis any more thanks 
to the stupid flame wars here.

The following information is from the monthly posting of FAQs:

> All five years of rec.music.gaffa/love-hounds-digest can be ftp'd from the
> love-hounds archive at wiretap.Spies.com (a California public access site
> named Spies in the Net) in directory /love-hounds/archives
> (Anybody wanna compile an index? a best-of anthology?)
>
> Song lyrics, interviews, the Garden and Cloudbusting, etc are in
> /love-hounds/kb on the same host.
>
> GIF files are also available in
> /love-hounds/kb/pix/gif [and gif.new, gif_footah, gif.saintjohn, pix.hill,
> gif_tour_program, gif.newer, gif.fenger]
>
> If you've never used ftp, you use a program on your UNIX system called FTP.
> You connect by typing:
> ftp wiretap.Spies.com
> Log in as "anonymous", and use your username as your password.
> To change directories type:
> cd love-hounds
> "dir" will get you a directory, "get" and the filename will retrieve the
> file.  If you "cd" again into "archives" or "kb" you'll find the main
> goodies, with "pix" being another subdirectory within "kb", and "gif" and
> "gif.new" within "pix".  (When downloading gif's, set your transfer type to
> binary by typing
> binary
> at the "ftp>" prompt.)

Here is a partial gif listing I had obtained long ago, things may have changed
now:

Also, several music related GIFs (Happy Rhodes, Dead Can Dance, Cocteau
Twins) were posted on alt.binaries.pictures recently.
