- Tracer

- Don't look back. It's gaining ground. You must plunge closer to the
- data core to avoid certain death. Hacking was never more difficult

- have tried and failed. Good luck!

- Technical Note about Microsoft's DirectDraw(tm)
-
- This demo version of Tracer takes advantage of some of the DirectDraw(tm)
- features but not its "Video Page Flipping" feature because some
- hardware/driver related problems have been found on many systems.
-
- If you know that your system supports DirectDraw(tm) page flipping properly,
- or if you want to test it with Tracer, you can force Tracer to use page
- flipping by directly editing the TRACER.INI file located in the Windows
- directory (usually: C:\WINDOWS\TRACER.INI).
-
- In TRACER.INI, locate and change the following statement in the [Preferences]
- section:
-
- Change this line:
-
- DirectDrawLevel=1
-
- Into this line:
-
- DirectDrawLevel=2
-
- If Page flipping is enabled, Tracer will probably run slightly faster.
- However, on some systems using a DirectDraw(tm) emulation driver, you may experience
- a performance degradation. In such case, reset the DirectDrawLevel value to 1
- in TRACER.INI.
