There is a freebie (actually a trial version, but the company that made it is no longer in business) called "Headliner" that checks a text file on the server every so often and updates a scrolling display as changes are made. The trial version places a link to their no-longer-existant webpage in the status bar, but is otherwise fully functional. You can download it here: http://javaboutique.internet.com/Headliner/ JM
