Requirements: ARM powered Palm-OS device (Palm-OS5 at least)
              (with PACE Motorola 68k software emulation)

Tested on:
    - Palm Tungsten-T
    - Sony NX  (thanks Aaron for testing!)

Notes and bla bla bla:

Originally this has been a 4k-tro from the Mobilewizardry 2002 demo competition, where
it ranked first in the 4k-category as well as in the overall ranking.
Now it's fixed for Palm-OS5, specifically for the 320x320 resolution. (it's statically
fixed for 320x320x8bpp, with direct screenaccess, no offscreenwindow - therefore it may
won't work on future devices...just like the first 160x160 version for the demo compe-
titon... ;)
It doesn't work on the Palm-Simulator. It may work on the future version of the Palm
emulator with ARM emulation.
On the Sony NX you should get a 'SoundStreamFeature not present',
just choose <no sound> then.
Concerning any 'Fatal' error messages: if you are sure your device is capable of the
requirements, just hit <continue> - but please keep the DISCLAIMER in mind !  :)

The main effects are still Motorola 68K code, only the Sound-Callback routine, the
additional scroller and the zoomrot-blitting are done using native ARM code.
Therefore the performance is quite low, the framerate is around 33 frames per second.
I'm sure there will be much much better demos/intros or games for ARM powered Palms in
the future.

I just want to mention some extremely funny gameplay...
   Use the standard Hardkeys to control movement
     ( calendar: select item-increment (z_rot/zoom/move_w0/move_w1)
       address : clear actual item-increment
       tasks   : increment item-increment
       notes   : decrement item-increment )
    After some seconds the original settings will be restored.
