The B.I.G. Demo by Mr. Styckx

				THE B.I.G. DEMO
				---------------

  Yes, you're not dreaming ! This is the conversion of one of the best
  demo ever made on the Atari ST. It was coded by The Exceptions in 1988
  and featured really impressive music conversions by Mad Mad, along
  with some stunning gfx effects.
  I tried to match the original demo as close as possible; all timings,
  colors, musics, ... are the same (although the code has been rewritten
  totally from scratch). The original texts have been preserved, so you
  won't see any other text from me in this demo.
  The only difference is the small VU-meter when you press HELP.

  This conversion has been written to introduce my YM2149 soundchip
  emulator, and also as an hommage to one of the best demo crew ever : TEX.
  Conversion was not as straightforward as you might think, especially
  for the Digi-Department which simulated 130 KHz sound on ST and uses
  heavy audio interruption on Amiga to obtain the same sound.

  For more infos on this conversion, please have a look at the readme file
  included in the YM2149 distribution archive.

  Also note that this demo has been developped on a 68000 A500, so I wasn't
  able to add full AGA and 68020+ cleanup routine. If you have any problem
  starting it, you might have to disable AGA and/or 68020.
  Reset your computer at the end (sorry, no return to OS possible).
