      This demo was designed to WORK.  It is in NO WAY conceivable that 
      it could ever possibly NOT work, and in fact, if for some reason,
      it chooses NOT to work on your computer, it is a conscious choice 
      of the  demo, and  certainly not  OUR fault.   In the unthinkable 
      circumstance  that this should  actually happen, it might be best 
      to pretend that it  IS in fact working, and  that you are  really 
      under some massive delusion, and in need of a nice long nap.

      I am, of course, lying.

      This  demo  was in reality  whipped together in  about two  days, 
      and  was  designed  to run  as  well  as  possible  on  the three 
      computers we tested it on.  We have  NO WAY of knowing whether it 
      will work properly on your computer, and we have no way at all of 
      knowing what'll happen if it  DOESN'T work.   (though please feel 
      free to tell us)...  If something nasty  happens to your computer 
      as a result of running this demo (or failing to), then... ummm... 
      oops?   It's because it is completely  IMPOSSIBLE to make sure it 
      runs flawlessly on every computer ever designed.   See?   Not our 
      fault!  Neat, huh?

                                ³ The Story ³
                                ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ

      Yes, there  really IS  a story behind the  creation of this demo.  
      Initially we weren't going to do a Christmas demo at all, because
      we were all very busy, and didn't have nearly enough time.  

      Now, Avery (EnigmaLogic of SCS) goes  to Fort Frances  every year 
      to  celebrate  Christmas  with the  rest of  his family.   He was 
      recently informed  that all gifts given  this year  must be  HAND 
      MADE.  So of course, his dad made cookies, and he decided to make 
      a demo.  

      This is all a really great plan of course, except that not all of
      his relatives have a computer. He had no idea who his present was
      going to be given to, so, the plan was to record the demo and its
      music on video-tape at our hugely expensive TV lab at school, and 
      give the demo on VHS... This was done, and explains nicely why no
      music plays when you run the demo.  We did it separately on tape.
      If you want to hear the music that we ended up using you can play
      XMAS94.MOD,  included  in this  archive, with your favourite  MOD 
      player.
      
      And hey,  nobody can  complain that we don't  support their sound 
      card, because this time around,  we don't support ANYBODY's sound 
      card!  Not even our own!  :)  Clever, no? :)

      Actually we didn't decide to release this demo until about 2:00pm
      on Christmas Eve...   it surprised even US!   Heck, I bet most of 
      our other group members didn't even KNOW about this thing... :)

                             ³ To Run The Demo ³
                             ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ

      In order to run  XMAS'94, you need at least a  386 processor, and
      a VGA card.  This demo has  not been thoroughly tested, as it was
      only intended to be run on one specific, randomly chosen computer
      anyway.  If it  doesn't work, let us know, and we'll  see what we
      can do.

      To run the demo, all you need to do is run XMAS94.EXE, which darn
      well better be included in this archive. :)  

      Wow, awfully quiet, isn't it? :)   If you want to hear  the song, 
      give a listen to  XMAS94.MOD,  which was thrown  together by Dave
      (DNA of SCS) in about a half an hour...

      Greetings go to...ummm...you.  Yes, that's right, you.  Hi there!
      Thanks for trying this demo, and remember:

             If it doesn't have a chicken on it, IT'S USELESS!
