Sinus v1.0 -- Java Sinus Scroller Applet.

The sinus applet included in this archive is a simple, visually attractive mechanism for smoothly scrolling text across the display. The text wraps around a sine wave as it scrolls to the left and changes colour as it oscillates vertically. To pause the scrolling at any time, click the left mouse button anywhere within the applet. Repeating this action resumes the scrolling. This applet will run best when viewed with a browser that implements a Just-In-Time compiler (such as Internet Explorer 3.0/Netscape Navigator 3.0). It was written using Symantec Cafe 1.50.
