Final Release Version
================================================================
CyboMan! was Gazebo's contribution to the 80k intro compo of
The Party '93.
TECHNICAL DATA
==============
Minimum configuration for maximum pleasure
We recommend at least 486/25 machine equpped with Local Bus VGA
card for running CyboMan!, altough CyboMan! will work on any
machine that has 386 compatible processor in it. 386 processor
is required due to use of 32 bit registers. Also, VGA card must
be 100% register compatible with IBM standard. Please note that
CyboMan! is designed to run on full frame rate, so action is
not syncronized to screen update. Reason for this is simple, it
is smashed together in just four days... some routines were
ready, some were not, and some bugged like hell. So there just
wasn't any time to syncronize it properly.
Memory required
CyboMan! requires about 440 kB free conventional (below 640k)
memory. EMS, XMS, DPMI or other standards for memory above 640k
are not required (and neither supported).
386 memory managers
CyboMan! has worked fine with all 386 memory managers during
our own tests, but 386 memory managers using V86 mode slow down
your machine. The slow down is no problem when using sound card
capable to hardware mixing, but if you have problems with
performance, try removing V86 software.
Soundcards supported
Due to technical advantages, CyboMan! supports only Gravis
UltraSound sound card. First release of this intro didn't have
configurable port address (it was hardcoded to 220h), but due to
many requests we decided to release another version with
selectable port address. Also, another reason for only
supporting UltraSound was that it is the only sound card we
could get our hands on :-)
Special thanks to Blizzard of Epical for lending his GUS to us.

TRUE WORDS OF WISDOM...
=======================
Due to intro design, the greets and other texts in the intro are
cut down to minimum (no body wants to read all of them...) Looks
like some people still don't understand that meaning of intro is
to entertain you, not to bore you to death with million pages of
greets to unknown people and apologies for bad intro...
This CyboMan! intro has been released in same condition that it
was in the compo, no effects have been changed or fixed (it
still has the same bugs), just some offensive texts was removed.
So you who missed the party can see what the intro was like, not
what it should have been... (Hello Avalanche...:)
Soon after The Party '93 Gazebo joined Complex. All Gazebo
products after this one are released under the name Complex. So
if you want to greet us, greet Complex!
