  Artificial Interrupt and everyone who contributed for the

  The package can be distributed freely without modification. No money
 can be charged for it, other than standard fees for access to a BBS,

 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.

    ------------------------
talos          Says: I was finished with the intro 1 day before TP,
                     as all you democoders know. It's tiering to code
                     So I didn't care to optimize or anything :)
                     I checked the intro on my 486 and it worked :)

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

                It won't start!
                ---------------
                o Make sure you have more then 470k conversional memory

                Error messages
                --------------
                o Can't allocate DMA buffer = Less then 470k conversional memory
                o Not enough RAM            = Not enough RAM :)

                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 manual configuration

                The demo shuts down sometime in the demo
                ----------------------------------------
                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
