A while back I needed a horizontal scrollbar. Actually, it was a *long* while back...I was using Codewarrior 3 at the time. I might have even been doing it on a Mac, as there's a resource.frk directory in the archive. At any rate, I cobbled one together that's meant as a drop-in replacement for the vertical scrollbar, but that goes horizontal or vertical.
