TypeIt 1.2 - a typewriter Applet

If your browser supported Java, you would have seen the TypeIt Applet right here.

Newsflash

Version 1.2

06.01.1999 Due to various requests: Rewritten to the java 1.0 event model and tested with Netscape 3.0, so that it should be more compatible with older browsers. Please note that there still is a Java 1.1 enhanced version available.

Version 1.02

31.10.98 User definable fontface and style added by request from John Thomas, Texas US. Thanx to John for sending me this suggestion, and for feedback when I tried to choose a parameter layout to let the user specify this.

Other suggestions and feedback is welcome.

Note that if you set illegal values for FONTFACE or STYLE, the applet will display Courier/BOLD. If you set one of the parameters correct however (and doesn't set the other at all), this value will be used and the default value for the other.
