  Artificial Interrupt and everyone who contributed for the
 release will not, in any case, by any means, no matter what happens
 or what damage should appear, be liable for it. This software is not
 supposed to do anything else than what it does when you run it. Thus
 it is not assumed to be suitable for any particular purpose; we will
 not assume any responsibilities, expressed or implied, about it.

  The package can be distributed freely without modification. No money
 can be charged for it, other than standard fees for access to a BBS,
 or the cost of the material the demonstration is recorded on. It can
 not be used to add value to a commercial product; however, shareware
 distributors can put it in their collections, be it CD-ROM or floppy
 disks and similar computer media, as long as it's sold together with
 other shareware of public domain programs in the same package; never
 can this demonstration be alone in the sold package, or be the first
 reason to give the customer in order to get him interested.

        Trouble Shooing
        ---------------

                It won't start!
                ---------------
                o Unload EMS memory (EMM386, QEMM etc..)
                o Make sure you have around 500k conversional memory

                Error messages
                --------------
                o Can't allocate DMA buffer = Less then 500k conversional memory
                o Not enough RAM            = Not enough RAM :)

                Shutdown Codes
                --------------
                     ***REMOVED FROM PARTY VERSION***

                Sync problems
                -------------
                o Run in pure DOS (not MS-DOS prompt or Exit to DOS) Reboot!

                Music initiation problems
                -------------------------
                o Make Sure you have the supported sound card.
                o Make sure you have installed the DOS drivers and have all
                  autoexec.bat and config.sys lines for your sound card
                o Try the Manual configuration options by typing: demo -m

                The demo shuts down sometime in the demo
                ----------------------------------------
                o Memory crash (Shouldn't happen unless "Tech info" Says so
                o Probebly low RAM (This should never happen)

                If this doesn't help
                --------------------
                o Contact someone that is more experienced and have more
                  computer skills than you
                o Contact AI (talos@algonet.se) and describe your problem
