Disclaimer:
Run this demo at your own risk! I will not be responsible for
any damage caused to your hardware or software as a result of
running this demo.
This demo may not be exchanged for money, goods, or services

This demo does not contain any animations. All effects were
calculated in real time by your computer while you watched.
About this demo:
It was July 25th, the deadline day for the TechsTronics 256-byte
demo compo, and I had to come up with a second entry FAST!
So, there I was at work, when the software I was using crashed.
With nothing to do, I decided to throw something together.
A few minutes later, I had "Psycho Scroller". And that's it.
Troubleshooting:
"Hey, all it says is "Psycho Scroller by PsychoMan"!
There isn't even any scrolling!"
OR
"Hey, it just hangs my machine!"
DO NOT run this demo in a Win95 DOS-box. It requires the vertical
retrace to time itself properly and it will NOT run at the proper
speed without it.
About the author:
PsychoMan is a member of the super-duo known as Craw Productions.
This was my second lame attempt at a demo under 256 bytes.
