  General:      
  ~~~~~~~~
  I heard of this compo 3 days ago, so i started to code something
  and manually compress it into 256bytes ;) nowadays there are so much
  programmers, most of them saying, 'asm is dead' or  'why using asm if
  you have c++'. I love C++, too, but asm I like even more (maybe because
  of some childhood-experiences on the Amiga ;)). And it still takes
  a real coder to put cute effects into 256bytes, that's why a compo
  like this great. I'm looking forward to the results.

  tested
  ~~~~~~

  the intro runs with 486, but on pentium with optimal speed
  tested under plain dos and win95. 
  
  technical specs:
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 - sine-generator (using fpu)

 - fractal generator
   a julia-set is calculated here. The algorithm
   is slightly modified to create a symmetrical fractal.

 - the intro uses his own calculated palette (some kind
   of weird xor-stuff) and is synced to the v-retrace.

 - the main routine is a zoom-rotator. The rotation&zoom-
   is periodic and almost 60secs long ! You can leave the
   program with any key.
