Kaktoos by Five Musicians [web]

*** IMPORTANT ***
Kaktoos will just sit there if you do not have
a VESA driver loaded.  If you don't have a
vesa driver, you can get one from for example
ftp://oak.oakland.edu/SimTel/msdos/graphics/univbe52.zip

We're very sorry for this last-minute bug.
*************EOI*

Thank you very very much for downloading my first child.

She is a big one, weighing over 3 meg with clothes on!
Her main creation place was Phoenix, Arizona (hence the name).

This is my 19th birthday, this is my first musicdisk, this is probably
the best day of my life (lots of fun things happened :))  Thanks to
Big Jim, Ms. Saigon, Blackwolf, GD, Sirrus, and NeXuS for those lovely
birthday-S3M/MODs! :)

This is a collection of some unreleased modules I've made in
random times throughout my tracking career, ranging from around
1991 to 1994 ('career' since 1988 :)).  I sincerely hope you like
them, and do keep in mind that they are ALL 4-channel, ProTracker
modules!  So they do not stand up to 1995 XM standards :)

Here's a little help for using the simple interface -

<-      Goes back to the previous screen of text, or switches to
        text-display mode from the loader screen
->      Goes to the next screen of text, or switches to
        text-display
ESC     In the text screens, this goes back to the loader screen
        In the loader screen, this stops playing and shows a thank-you
        text screen, after which ESC exits Kaktoos.
ENTER   Plays currently selected module

We hope that'll get you by.  If not, the mod files are included
as separate files.

Some words about the music:

They're all old, but I think they are my best tunes.  Which is why
I really wanted to release them in one pack :).  I've made most of
them in Phoenix, Arizona, like I said, and was massively inspired
by the people, scenery and geography of the area.  It was an un-
believable time I had there!!

Well, thanks again.  Here's my contacting info, in case you like
