NAME

TickerTape - Display long message in Tk

SYNOPSIS

TickerTape Message

DESCRIPTION

For everyone with a case of Browser envy after using Microsoft's Internet Explorer, here's a perl/tk script only slightly more useful than a script to do <BLINK>. Don't know why I wrote it. Don't know why you'd run it. Maybe if you were writing a ticker tape application. Or had a weird thing for Times Square. Anyway....
