Found this old sheep or ram program that is a oldie.

It is a sheep and it is just the one file you click on and no install is needed. A sheep fall down and walks around on your desktop. If you got folders open he can land on top of the folder, hang over the edge, jump off etc. Then he does other thing and your see that if you open it and let him stay around. Just click on him to get other option and to close him by clicking remove.
He is really cute so turn on the sound too.

Here I found the web site http://www.fortunecity.com/millenium...on/39/poo.html
Attached Files
File Type: zip sheep.zip (116.5 KB, 142 views)

Opps that was the install.exe I clicked on and there is a zip too that is 1944 KB that has the gwk32.exe in it.
Now I know I got the graphic workshop folder I copied after the install on zip too.

Running the program from the zip put a Gws.ini file in the wndows folder.

Use Hewee's attachment zip for the sheep, Kidcnote Post #737

He's way cute, but he peed in the corner of a page I was emailing. Hope it doesn't leave a stain.

I unzipped him to his own folder titled "Sheep" in my Programs folder, instead of the temp files route. Try that.

not quite freeware
I tried a free trial of spysweeper. I had a trojan plus some other bugs and in a 45 min scan it cleaned up my computer completely.

Oh, Thank you, Clsxmas
Now I have 2 critters running around on my desktop.
(I had to turn off sheep's sound as her ~ it's a her and I know that now because a boy sheep was chasing her a while ago! ~ boredom yawns were annoying me. Also, she sneezes alot. My comp must be dusty)
I'm going to email these links to my niece and nephew and other short people.

Have a great day

One of the very best pieces of freeware I have ever had the pleasure of using. I laughed so hard I began to worry!

I have about a dozen to keep track off - I need a dog. No sound as yet but the bush pops up now and then. And the black one - oh my

Thanks, hewee
