Message

Description:

Message is a JAVA appelt written by Mark Qian. It displays user-specified
scrolling messages with sound.  Each piece of text message can be asigned a URL
so that the corresponding URL will be opened when you click at the text message.
It plays a user-specified sound(an au file) when mouse cursor moves over the applet 
area. One of Message's interesting features is that it can "talk" to
other specified applets such as Ad(another COOL applet written by Mark Qian.
Go Mark's page to see the demo and get it too!!).  That is, when you move mouse
cursor within Ad, Ad will ask Message to display the description about the picture 
displayed by Ad. Message is an AdWare at this time.

Troubleshooting:

                         
   If you see an error "Applet can't start: class message not found" 
   or "Applet can't start: class message got a security violation: method verification error"
   in the status bar, that means that you didn't RENAME those class 
   files correctly. Their correct names are: message.class
   (Please reopen your browser after you correct the name of class file).
   
   
   
   If you get error message other than that, read the instructions for installation in readme.txt
   or please go to mark's home page
   for detail instructions of installation and troubleshooting.
