Well it's kind of DIY

I am trying to make a simple message display system which has a number
of video monitors run from the TV-out of a PC.

I was convinced someone must supply some simple software to run on the
PC to actually output the messages, but though I have googled long and
hard, I can't find anything.

Powerpoint would possibly be OK, but I was looking for something simpler
- really just a few pages of straight text display. With a bit of time I
could write something in visual basic, but it seems a shame to reinvent
something which already exists. Anyone know of anything to do this?

Would a screen-saver compiler do this for you? I think you can get freeware
proggies that also build screenshots and savers with all different kinds of
effects.

Try www.snapfiles.com/freeware for a load of graphics effects and screen
image type proggies. You're bound to find something there that'll do this
for you.
