This is a variation of an example that Mike Zdeb wrote for me.
It takes some text, and then loops throug the lines,
creating a gslide of certain lines of the text,
and greplay's the gslides into a custom greplay
template that is "squeezed" together at the top
(distorting the slide in such a way that it looks
like a 3d perspective where the top is farther away).
Each successive gslide becomes a frame of the gif
animation, creating an effect similar to the
opening credits 'crawl' for the movie Star Wars.

It uses some macros to help process the text,
and uses a custom 'mis-shapen' greplay template to
display the text so it appears to be in a perspective
projection.
This could easily be re-cycled by editing the text
in the SAS code.
