<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
var Message="Yet another simple scroll!";
var place=1;
function scrollIn() {
window.status=Message.substring(0, place);
if (place >= Message.length) {
place=1;
window.setTimeout("scrollOut()",300); 
} else {
place++;
window.setTimeout("scrollIn()",50); 

}
function scrollOut() {
window.status=Message.substring(place, Message.length);
if (place >= Message.length) {
place=1;
window.setTimeout("scrollIn()", 100);
