Thank you for watching "Astronomy" By Arcana. This file is basically just
a bunch of information about Arcana, it's members, etc. This is our first
release, although I don't believe it will be our last.

Alright, a little information about the intro. It's horribly unoptimized,
because most of it is done in Turbo Pascal. Basically it was most of my
previous routines (some stretching back as far as 6 months), all rehashed,
sped up (though not by much), and thrown together. It seemed most of my
effects had to do with starfields, so I named it "Astronomy." Anyways, the
code is about 3000 lines long, and is about 75% pascal, and 25% inline asm,
and it uses the Midas Sound System. This is Arcana's first official re-
lease, after being formed approximately 4 or so months ago (I can't quite
remember). In any case, hopefully our next releases will have less harsh
system requirements, and much better effects.
Oh, and by the way, I lied in the end scroller. Not EVERYTHING you saw
and heard was done by me. The ansi was done by Digital.Sinner. Sorry
about that, and thanks a bunch for the ansi.
Also, I would recommend having about 600k of conventional memory free for
this intro. You may be able to get away with less, but since I haven't
tested different configurations, all I know is that it runs without a
hitch with 600k free.

Currently, I'm the only member... I am looking for members, though. Esp-
ecially in the Music and Art department. I would prefer not take people who
are already in a group, although acceptions can be made (Necros, Visigoth,
etc).
