AN EXTRA PROGRAM -- DESK MESSAGE

         DESK MESSAGE is a program that presents text on VGA monitors
         in a "Times Square" style banner of moving lights.  The text
         may originate: (1) in response to a prompt, (2) on a command
         line (batch file), or (3) from an ASCII text file.          

         DESK MESSAGE is included with standard HFK Software products
         as an extra, in appreciation of past and current patronage. 

         To use DESK MESSAGE, enter "DSKMSG" on the DOS command line.
         This will cause command syntax to be displayed.
