  ³        We  decided to  form our own  demo group a   º       LEGiON       ³
  ³ few weeks ago, I Random, had been working on  all   º     CyberSquad     ³
  ³ the routines in the demo just for practice then I   º VangeliSteam/Iguana³
  ³ came across a nice little program called, DEMOVT.   º   Advanced Gravis  ³
  ³ With that I was able to  put some of saNes  music   º    All Australian  ³
  ³ (with  which he had made quite a name for himself   º     demo groups.   ³
  ³ locally) into my  routines. So we decided to make   º And All great Demo ³
  ³ a demo, and here it is...                           º  groups around the ³
  ³                                                     º       world!       ³
  ³        This demo was  put together  in about  two   º The Infinite Realm ³
  ³ weeks, although  I had been  coding the  routines   º  & Mindflux BBS's. ³
  ³ since late  1993.  Most  of  the time  was  spent   º                    ³
  ³ optimising  the  code  (you call  that  optimised   º Refer to demo end  ³
  ³ code??? :-) ), and  anyway  since the  demo is in   º  scrolly for full  ³
  ³ 100%  C++ it wont  run  very fast  at all on less   º   greeting list.   ³
  ³ than a 486. It also uses some floating point math   ÓÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
  ³ so on any 486sx it will run quit slow on at least
  ³ two  parts!  Only one  part of  the  demo  is not 
  ³ completely by me, and that is the plasma. While I
  ³ was  coding the  fire I was thinking about coding 
  ³ the plasma, since it uses the same principle,  so
  ³ I told  my brother  Zimi,  and he decided to code 
  ³ it. But unfortunately he cant code C++ only Basic
  ³ and AMOS (on the Amiga)  so he made it in  Basic, 
  ³ and it was sloooow, so I converted it to C++.
  ³           
  ³        Anyway,  if you have any problems  running 
  ³ the  demo  try a  clean  boot,  or  your  friends
  ³ computer.  Also if  you don't have a  SVGA  video 
  ³ card then you cant run in  SVGA  mode  (Duh).  So 
  ³ just choose  the  VGA  320 x 200 x 256.  The only 
  ³ difference between that and the SVGA mode besides
  ³ the  resolution is that  you wont see  the  logo!
  ³ And also the SVGA mode requires VESA BIOS,  so if
  ³ your video card doesn't  have one  your will have
  ³ to load a driver like  UNIVESA.  Or the  one that
  ³ should  have came with your  video card.  Also if 
  ³ you want to re configure the demo after the first
  ³ load when it will save  the config,  run the demo
  ³ with a command line of anything, eg XTATIC.EXE -R  
  ³ Thats all  I can say besides,  if all else  fails 
  ³ contact us.

  ³        For all of you who are  thinking how  lame 
  ³ it is to release a C++ demo,  too bad!  But don't
  ³ worry I do own Borland Turbo Assembler and I have 
  ³ a 500  page tutorial on the subject,  but I don't 
  ³ have the time  /  couldn't be bothered reading it 
  ³ right now... :-(  But since I spent  $300 dollars 
  ³ on it I will be learning it soon!
  ³         
  ³        To finnish we hope you like the  demo  and 
  ³ we would most appreciate feedback /  comments  on 
  ³ it! Even if you just want to talk, or ask for the
  ³ source code :).
