This demo was completed in 26Nov1995, and took 1 day to build. Running this
demo requires VESA2.0 standard graphics modes, which can atleast be
obtained with UNIVESA 5.1a driver. We will not ship one with this demo
becourse of copyright reasons etc. nasty things.
COLORS runs in FULL RGB mode internally, how it outputs the graphics
depends on chosen graphics mode (you can do that when you start the demo).
24bit colors is what this is meant to be run in. 16bit and 8bit are just for
more support. Btw. we had only CIRRUS and S3 chipsets when we created COLORS,
so working on other chipsets may vary. More drivers will be written when we
can borrow more cards for testing, this does NOT mean that demo won't run on
other cards -- we just DO NOT GUARANTEE it to work on ANY other chipset.
Oh yeah, if colors get mixed in 16/24 bit modes, try editing univbe's
config files. (those define RGB order etc. Read Univbe manual for more info.)
COLORS can be run in any memory mode in dos, and in windows95. It requires
less than 400Kb of basemem, but more you got - faster it runs.
(we are talking about 10% speed boost only, so don't worry about it..)
Himem requirements allow demo to be run on 4Mb machines. Oh btw. if you
choose 8bit color mode, and your card can do LINEAR FRAME BUFFERING, then
don't run with (Q)EMM loaded. It crashes the demo. (We are working on it <g>)
Allright, so in summary:
- Needs vesa2.0
- 400Kb of free basemem
- abt. 2megs of free himem
- 486 or better cpu. (will crash on lesser - no more mr. niceguys)
- only 100% tested with CIRRUS and S3 chipsets.
Story of my life:
"Why no demos outside parties???" - We haven't seen very many demos released
outside of demoparties. I know, it's nice to see your work on big screen
and feel proud. Best of all: you get on many diskmagazine charts. Well, this
demo does not kiss anybody's ass -- it's what it is. just vectors and dull
old effects. All seen allready before. SO WHAT? We just wanted to do something
for a while just for kicks. Gee -- we're still kickin'!!! Amazing...
Well, no info file w/o greetings:

live in states :)
Propably forgot 10001 nice people, but atleast some of you got greeted. O;)
Oh yeah... check out our previous releases, like.. oh.. never mind.
p.s. It's allready the end of readme.txt
