             ===============================================

Text Banner is a Java applet used to display animated text
on your Web pages.

You may use this applet on your Web pages WITHOUT paying me fee or
royalty as long as credit is given (a link to my home page is enough).


HOW TO USE IT?
==============
To use this applet on your Web page, simply add this tag:

<APPLET code="Banner2.class" width=400 height=50>
<PARAM NAME = "text1" VALUE =" This is a Java applet">
</APPLET>


ADDITIONALS PARAMETERS
----------------------
You can also change the apperance of this applet by setting some
additional parameters, i.e:

 - "typeface" paremeter - typeface of font,
                           e.g.: "Arial", "TimesRoman", etc.

 - "fontcolor" parameter - the color of font
      You can use either string, such as "red", "green", "blue", etc.
      or RGB triplet, such as "#FF0000", "#00FF00", "#0000FF", etc.

      if you don't know how to build a RGB triplet
    
 - "backcolor" parameter - background color
      Like "fontcolor", you can use either string or RGB triplet.      

 - "backimage" parameter - background image (use .GIF file)

 - "delay" parameter - delay of animation (integer) in milisecond.
      For example, if you set this parameter to 50, then
      the animation will be 20 fps (frames per second).

 - "maxfont" parameter - maximum font size before text moving out.

 - "text1", "text2", .. "text5" - the text that will be displayed
      on this applet.
