+ Here is something I wrote for fun. I don't actually need it, but
+ other might find it useful. Skroll takes its input from stdin, and
+ then makes it scroll on stdout. You can specify the scroll speed, as
+ well as the number of characters to be displayed.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The best application to this I can find so far, is for some kind of
+ notification system. If you want to display the current playing
+ song in a tiny box in the upper left had-corner, you soon notice
+ that you <em>can't</em> adapt the notification box to the size of
+ the input text, because that's just too ugly. And here comes skroll
+ ! Just pipe your text to it with the <code>-r</code> flag (so that
+ there is a new line after each scroll-step), and pipe that output to
+ dzen2 or bar or whatever. <strong>BAM</strong> that's black magic !
