     A demo written by GooRoo (aka Chris Egerter), the newest member of SKP

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

System Requirements:
────────────────────
	- VGA or better
	- 386 is alright, but a 486DX is recommended

Soundcards Supported:
─────────────────────
	- SB, SBPro, GUS

Comments:
─────────
	This demo is a collection of routines I have been working on over
the past 5-6 months.  Some of the parts are written partially by others, and
the proper credits are in the source (yes, it is available).  

Coding:       GooRoo/SKP (Chris Egerter)
Music :       Falcon/SKP (Aaron Gould)
	      Grand Verbalizer/WSP (Barry Egerter)
	      GooRoo/SKP
Graphics:     GooRoo/SKP
End Ansi:     Pyromaniax/SKP (Kevin Keenliside)
Music Player: Cyberstrike (Josh Jensen)

About the code:
───────────────
	I used the WordUp Graphics Toolkit v4.0 as a basic system to load
pics, palettes, sprites, etc.   A lot of the demo uses its own drawing
routines in assembly for speed, but a few commands from WGT were used, 
including the texture mapping, 3D rotation, bitmap resizing, palettes,
and image transfers.   I don't expect many other people have used WGT to
create demos like this.  I only did it because I wrote WGT, and know the
way everything works.  Hopefully you'll learn something new after studying
this code.

*****
MODE X (or any other tweaked VGA mode) WAS NOT USED IN THIS DEMO.   
Don't let anyone tell you standard MCGA 320x200x256 is not suitable any more!!!

If you've got a slow computer, or you just get plain bored of one of the
parts in this demo, hit a key to skip to the next part.  Currently the 
ESC key will NOT exit the demo.  You have to go through each of the parts.
