What the fuck..?


"Why the hell does TRSi release a trackmo (no-dos-basis) as LHA-Archive and
not  as  usual  DMS-Package"  you may ask...  Correct!  The explaination is
quite  simple; due a failure of The Disk Masher (just ask eg.  Blackhawk or
Flake;  they  know  what  I am talking about...  the dms-routine is full of
bugs)  there  appears  a  CHECKSUM  ERROR  while un-packing the second disk
(which  makes  it  iMPOSSIBlE to un-dms it in a correct way).  Be sure that
there  are  eg.   no  error  tracks on disk!  It is just one of those lousy
pack-error  of  the  dms!   So  we had to archive the 2nd disk with another
full-disk-comprimizer...  ZOOM!

No  panic,  Zoom  was (wisely) included in the 2nd Lha-archive due the fact
that  it  is  not  very popular (ever seen a file like KICK-ASS.ZOM?).  You
simply  have to decrunch the 1st disk with dms and the second one with Zoom
(as I already said; included in the TRSi-AT2.LHA file).

Because  of  this  problem  which  made the spreading of Artifice via modem
nearly impossible (please NUKE the old versions TRSi-AR1.DMS & TRSi-AR2.DMS
because  they do NOT work; especially the 2nd disk) we decided to release a
fINAL  version  of the TRSi Artifice trackmo.  New features:  two different
pictures  and  an  optimized Voxelspace routine.  Sorry for that but it was
not our fault.  Check it our by yourself if you do not believe us; compress
the 2nd disk and try to de-compress it.  You will not be successfull!

Btw,  you ARE now able to compress the 2nd disk with Dms (the final release
version),  but  ONLY  with  crunchmode  HEAVY1!  Due the fact that a lot of
boards are using a special dms-checher which REPACKS archives (with Heavy2)
crunched  with  Heavy1, there is NO other possibility for us than releasing
this  trackmo  as  LHA  archives.Grab the following files because it is the
REAL release!

The original trackmo was released at the COMA-PARTY (WOC 1994) and was ment
to  be our contribution at the demo competition...  Lateron the competition
was  cancelled  due  socalled `financial problems` (HOW LAME) but this demo
was  definietely  the  best, even if there was no possibility to show it at
the  party screen!  Consider this as WINNER DEMO!  All in all the party was
just a bad joke and the competition-organisation was a MESS!
