 ■ Credits
   - SCC stands for Sirius Cybernetics Corporation

   - Code :
      Technomancer did
       protected mode kernel, intro, animation player, voxels,
       enpart scroll, smiley tunnel, bitmap rotation
      Musashi did
       vector part, sound packer

   - GFX :
      Mad Mack did
       endpart font and all animations and raytraced pictures

      SEQ did
       monster for rotating bitmap

   - Music :
      Billy Idol did
       all the music

 ■ System requirements
   - 386 or better processor (386DX40 will do fine)
   - VGA graphic card (the faster one the better)
   - HIMEM.SYS memory manager loaded !
   - no other protected mode programs loaded. that means this demo will NOT
     work with some lame memory managers like EMM386 or QEMM.
   - dos version 5.0 or more
   - 4 megabytes of memory (actually about 450k low mem and 3000K XMS)

 ■ Technical info
   - all code is about 11000 lines of pure assembly language
   - all music was sampled in 22KHz 8bit and packed with amazing Musashi's
     sample packer called Quantic, it gives packing ratio 32:9,
     sample packer uses centroids algorithms for vector quantization
   - sample is depacked realtime and played through DMA
   - all demo was coded in one week (7 days! yeah!) in mind boiling
     temperature of 40°C!
   - all raytracing was done on LightWave on Amiga 1200
   - Musashi's vector part was originally written by him on Amiga
     and translated from Motorola to Intel assembly by him in two days
