RSSTicker brings live news headlines to the Amiga Workbench.
It reads multiple RSS feeds from a simple configuration file, fetches
them through bsdsocket.library, and displays each feed as its own smooth
scrolling ticker line. It is designed for classic AmigaOS 1.3 systems
that should keep current headlines visible without taking over the desktop.
With HTTP support, optional HTTPS through amitls13.library, configurable
feed colors, individual scroll speeds, font selection, and a multilingual
interface, RSSTicker is a compact and practical news ticker for classic
Workbench environments.
