Cool, right on. Thank you. I'm not familiar enough yet with what is required and what transformations are needed, so I don't know what a fast method is or a slow method. Maybe I'll have to solve it first with a slow solution, then optimize. I've seen a lot of Java applets with spinning text, so it's definitely been done many times, but I've never had occasion till now to investigate how to do it. Thanks again.
