Due to the fact that the above URL does not have much in terms of documentation, a brief usage summary is given here.
The Java definition for the ImageTape should look something like this:
<applet codebase="/Java/ImageTape"
code="ImageTape.class" width=400 height=30>
<param name=speed value="8">
<param name=img value="images">
<param name=dir value="4">
<param name=nimgs value="24">
</applet>
The "img" variable specifies the image directory. In this case
it is a subdirectory called "images". Set "nimgs" to
be the number of images that you have. These images must be named in the
format "T%d.gif" or "T%d.jpg", i.e. T1.gif, T2.gif,
T3.gif, etc.
The source code for the Image Tape was
written by the Java developers.
