The Marquee was new to GW 5.5, released 9/98. I've been using The Bat since v.1.00.95, about 327 updates ago. My recollection is that the Mail Ticker was added in one of the 1.1x versions after GW 5.5, because I recall thinking at the time that it wasn't "unique", but I could be wrong. Maybe some enterprising Novell programmer crooked the idea from a little known company in Moldavia. :) Could be a new source of revenue for RIT Labs. -- PFord The Bat! 1.53d (reg) Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
