    Welcome to our very first production, a demo called 'DISTANCE'.
    RADON is a fairly new group, barely past its first year. Throughout
    the whole last year we have been planning and developing this demo,
    although until this spring, nothing had been done and on some points
    it even seemed that nothing would be done - laziness, studying etc.
    But thanks to Abdominal's hard work we have finally completed our
    one year goal and finished this demo. Well, what to say about the
    demo itself? It is not quite the same we planned of it at first,
    but probably a way better. See it yourself and decide whether it was
    worth it or not.

    Some of the graphics were taken from public libraries. If this demo
    will be shown on the big screen, our hard work has paid off, no matter
    the place it wins.

     To run 'DISTANCE', you need at least:

        -  386/SX
        -  VESA compatible SVGA-card (640x480x256c)
        -  2.0 Mb raw/XMS/EMS memory (+800kb for SB)
        -  Some 600 kb of free base memory

     Although this demo may run on some 386s, at least 486/66 is HEAVILY
     recommended. This is due to the fact that some of the effects need
     heavy calculations which in turn require a fast computer for the
     demo to be entertaining and relatively enjoyable to watch. It's no
     point watching this demo on a slow computer.

  ╚══╩══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

    This demo uses IGUANA's DemoVT to play music, due to the unfortunate
    fact that none of us has a GUS, which means that we haven't been able
    to code our player routines for GUS. So, rather than using our own
    RadonPlay (and disappoint all you GUS owners out there), we decided
    to use a player with similar capabilities to our own, and which would
    also work on GUS. Hope you find this acceptable, since it has nothing
    to do with our coders' laziness...this will probably be the case with
    our future projects, unless something dramatic should happen to our
    income.

    Like so many others, we are proud to use TRAN's PMODE - BIG thanx go
    to him!

    If your computer does not have a VESA compatible bios, but can handle
    svga modes, you must load a vesa driver to be able to see the svga
    routines.

    VESA modes are only used in the beginning of the demo. All other
    routines (with the exception of endscreen julia) run in 320x240x256c
    tweaked mode.

    This demo SHOULD work with raw, HIMEM, EMM, QEMM (raw,A20,V86). If
    possible, use HIMEM or raw, because this demo runs faster under them.
    If any problems should occur, try to make a clean boot. If that won't
    help, it won't probably run on your machine, no matter what you'll try.
    But hey, hardware is so damn cheap today...just buy a new computer!
    Note that you must have EMS if you want to hear something from your
    SB.

    If any kind of weird behavior is encountered during or after running
    Distance, try killing all unnecessary TSR programs. Turning Qemm's
    stealth feature off should also solve some problems.

    We have also used Tran's PMODE and DemoVT by JCAB/Iguana in creating
    this demo. As for giving more specific credits, it would be frustrating
    and space-consuming, because we have sticked to our occupations
    more or less tight.
