└ ┘
This demo requires nothing but a fast processor.
You don't need any special configuration as it will run with every memory
manager (also QEMM, 386MAX etc), but 'HIMEM only' gives best performance!
You don't have to own one of those svga cards, to get the truecolor-mode.
The 16 million colours are based on a 640x400 X-mode resolution in combi-
nation with fake-mode page-switching and an advanced orange-mode.
On some very strange VGAs this mode will flicker or doesn't work at all -
if you belong to these unlucky, worry!
This demo was tested on the following, very different machines - we didn't
encounter any problems, but if you find any, contact us please...
- AMD 486DX4-100 VLB, Cirrus 1MB, GUS 1MB: ok.
- Cyrix 486DX2-66 VLB, ET4000 W32 1MB, GUS 1MB: ok.
- AMD 486DX4-100 PCI, Av. Logic 1MB, GUS Max 512kB: ok.
- Intel 486DX-40 VLB, Trident 8900 1MB, GUS 512kB: ok.
Don't try this on 386-25 or even slower - it won't run at all (at least
you should not try it on any 386 - it will look ugly) !
The archive should include the following files:
- CONV.EXE the executable demo
- CONV.NFO this info-file
- FATAL.NFO general information
- FILE_ID.DIZ file-description for bulettin' boards
Please leave the archive as it is - if there are any useless bbs-addies
you can delete them...
Some of the 3d-models were found on a shareware cd-rom, thanks to those
who made them - whoever you are...
All other stuff was of corse self-made, everything is realtime calculated,
no rip-offs, no animations, no fakes...
Space: 150kB code, 200kB gfx, 220kB 3ds, 712kB sound = 1.3MB

This demo took part at the 'WIRED 95' demo-competition in Mons/Belgium
and won xth place.
Main code was done in about one week, so don't complain...
Watch out for INSANITY's second very-near-in-the-future musicdisk,
called MORBID VISIONS II !
