--[general informations]-------------------------------------------------
With this package you are the proud owner of Sympathy's first demo called
'Natural'. It was released at 'The Party 6', the place is unknown up to
now (party release). The product was made by the following members :
Cougar & Logix made the graphics
Somebody made the code
Andy made the music
Teasy made the ascii and supported us
But of course all other Sympathy members supported the production as well
with many good hints and propositions.
Also a very great 'thank you' goes to the following people :
T. Pytel & C.Scheffold for the protected mode interface PMODE/W
Sahara Surfers for the Midas soundsystem
Terminal Force for the texture pack
T-Spoon/resistance! for help with the storyboard
By the way, this is exactly the right time for me, Somebody, to thank some
cool guys out there who helped me a lot by supporting me with codes, hints
and optimizing help :
Hellfire/Fatal Justice^Death
Submissive/Cubic Team^$een
Warlock/Absence

Neither we, the producers, nor anybody else can be held responsible for
damages of any kind caused by the product. You are using the product to-
tally on your own risk !
Wow, that sounds dangerous ;)
--[system requirements]---------------------------------------------------
For running the demo you should at least own the following configuration :
- 486 DX4/100 (hmmm, slloooooww ;)
- SoundBlaster (ugh! ;)
- SVGA
- at least 4meg of free memory (or machine will crash)
For enjoying the demo you should upgrade your computer to the following :
- Pentium 90 or higher (P-133 for smoothness ;)
- Gravis Ultrasound (extremely recommended!)
- SVGA
- at least 4meg of free memory
We are sorry for the high machine requires, but as you will surely notice
there are many heavy-calculating effects used in the demo...
--[troubleshooting]-------------------------------------------------------
Up to now we haven't discovered any bugs, but if you found some, we would
be very glad if you would inform Somebody (address in 'SYMPATHY.NFO')
about the kind of error, your configuration etc.
Anyway it may perhaps help if you'll boot the system without anything be-
side HIMEM.SYS and your soundcard environment. Of course you must be sure
to have enough free memory avaible to run the demo (at least 4meg!).
--[some words from the coder]---------------------------------------------
Maybe you ask yourself why the demo doesn't run smooth on your computer,
which can be the case if you are running it on a system lower than a
Pentium 100MHz. This is caused by the fact that _all_ animations in the
demo are calculated in realtime; there are absolutely no precalculated
animation files. Anyway color tables and tunnel maps are calculated at the
beginning of the demo in order to keep the demo as small as possible in
size.
--[even we are not perfect]-----------------------------------------------
Last but surely not least we want to say 'sorry' to some guys who are our
friends but aren't included either in the demo greetings nor in the info-
file 'SYMPATHY.NFO'; these guys are for example coming from Interamnia,
Atlantic and Grinders. We hope not to forget to include your names in the
next demo. If we forgot to greet one of our friends, we would be pleased
if he would inform us.
