Developer’s Description

By MicroTicker
Scroll news and messages loaded from an external text file.
From the developer: "NewsMaker is a professional-quality news and message scroller applet. Messages and links are stored in an external text file -- so you never need to change your page code to change your messages or links; change your content and links by simply sending a new text file to your server.

"Smooth Scrolling Double-buffered internal graphics techniques ensure the smoothest possible scrolling on the screen; easy and clear to read. Use any standard GIF or JPEG as a background image within the applet space for easy layout and page integration; also supports .au sound files on item-at-top; over two dozen sample sounds included in download."
