Dov, For doing several hundred lines of text I would definately not use 3DS.
Text isn't exactly its strong point. Take a look at the star wars style text
crawl in the intro to the '93 Siggraph reel. The Yost Group used Altamira
Composer to create the text as a bitmap which was then mapped onto a long
rectangle – with an opacity mask. This would seem like an ideal solution for
you – especially since you can get Composer for $149 right now. I don't have
any more info on that though. Photoshop or something else would probably work
also though.
