-
- About:
- -======-
-
- The first version of this demo (a preview) was our tiny contribution
- to the demo competition at the Fried Bits III Eastern Coding Convention
- in Bremen, Germany during April 1995 (4th place of 5).
-
- This is version 1.0, the final one. It was released at the Nordic Atari
- Show -96 in Gothenburg, Sweden during June 1996. It won the demo
- competition!
-
- The early Fried Bits rushed version was even worse, believe me! We had
- a mental hangover after the trip to Bremen, that's why it took some
- time to finish it. Due to various reasons this version wasn't released
- until the NAS. Send us your suggestions why and you may win a price.
-
- This demo can be copied freely, but all files must remain unmodified!
- If you tend to dislike it, do like those who like it and send us a
- postcard.
-
- oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
-
- Install:
- -========-
-
- Depack the files to your harddisk.
- The main directory "BFOS" may be placed anywhere on your harddisk.
- Note that modification of the files may prevent the demo from
- starting!
-
- oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
-
- Running:
- -========-
-
- It may be launched from most resolutions. It's not entirely VGA
- compatible, sorry. It will require quite a lot of RAM, so preferably
- reboot your system and hold down the Control key while booting.
- If you won't do this, the demo may halt while running. Trust me,
- you don't want that.
-
- Before the start there will be some text, and you have some options
- to deal with (hard, eh?).
- 'S' toggles the internal monster on/off, 'M' turns off all sound in
- the demo, 'D' will pipe an external signal to the sound output (just
- connect a cable to the microphone socket and play your favourite
- Vangelis compact disc). You may also control the volume with the
- '+'/'-' keys on the numeric keyboard. This could be bad for your sound
- equipment, if you're not careful enough.
- If "Warning" is prompted, you can still run the program, but it
- will probably look strange or crash in worst case.
- If "Error" is prompted, sorry - but you're finished here... (try
- to get a life anyhow)
-
- It will behave with Geneva etc.
- Unfortunately it will not exit properly if NVDI is installed.
-
- Some parts may be aborted by the SPACE bar (if you're really bored).
