A year after I started computing, I bought the program HyperCard. When I learned a few things, I made a program that did what you're talking about. It was originally designed to let me read all those Read-Me files that came with every software program, in one inch high letters across the top of the screen. It eliminated scrolling and skipping lines. It's been modified since the original, to read a bunch of one-liners like a ticker-tape and it can be set to run continuously. Anyway, I have a copy of it on my web site. If you want to give it a try, be my guest. Just click this link. ftp://members.aol.com/hyperstax/ticker.sit You can even choose any font available. All-in-all it holds about 8 to 10 pages of text. Hopefully most of the articles are within that limit. I'm still in the dark ages with my OS, but Apple said the program should work in OS X and Jaguar, but couldn't say about Panther. If worse comes to worse, you could probably run it in Classic. It's a fully functional program so you won't need Hypercard or the Player to use it. If you decide to try it, good luck. -- Tony LaFemina When you want to do more than just buy software http://hometown.aol.com/visitmacland/index.html mailto:remacs at optonline.net | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be March 23.
