■∙[ WHAT ? ] ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■

  A calodox contribution to Buenzli #6 fx's compo. Got the 2nd place
  at this compo.

■∙[ WHO ? ] ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■

  Main code ............. Dake
  Music / Noises ........ Fred · Dake
  Vesa code ............. Zpider

  MXM player ............ Pascal
  DOS32 ................. Adam Seychell

■∙[ WHAT DOES THIS THING NEED ? ] ──────────────────────────────────────────■

  This fx needs at least :

  ∙ a FPU
  ∙ 486dx, p166 or faster recommended
  ∙ 8mb of RAM
  ∙ a fast VESA 1.2 card (for fake-mode)
  ∙ a card supporting VESA 2.0 for 16,24,32 bits LFB modes
  ∙ GUS 512k for sound, nosound if no GUS detected

  Problems ? :

  ∙ some cards have LFB 320x200x16,24,32b available only when
    Univbe or Scitech Display Doctor are loaded (Matrox, S3...)
    check http://www.scitechsoft.com

  ∙ if the proggy crashes just after the samples precalculations, then
    reboot and launch with Univbe or SDD. If it still doesn't work, choose
    another mode.

  ∙ doesn't work with Windows NT

■∙[ WHAT'S BEHIND THIS FX ? ] ──────────────────────────────────────────────■

  The FX features 4 metaballs (grid 32x32x32), a tunnel and some blurred
  text. All textures are generated, samples are also created using some
  weird algos (and it sounds like that :)

  The code is 100% ASM (DOS32). No time left to optimize metaballs.
  Don't blam me if it's slow on your PC, I didn't have time to implement
  recursive stuff in the marching cubes algo (hey Mrz !)

  No secret part. No cmdline options.
