        You will need a 486 or better with about 6Mb of base memory and a
        soundcard (SoundBlaster or Ultrasound) to run this demo. However, for
        real speed and to make it work properly we recommend:

                - Pentium 120, 8Mb
                - Gravis Ultrasound (Max) with 1Mb

        It runs under any modern DOS server probably including Windows x.xx
        ('95), and most likely also OS/2 2.1 or higher. For full speed, DOS 3.2
        or better is recommended.

        There are all strange weird red lines on the screen:

                That was a bug in Circuit, not Dea.


        The demo hangs somewhere in the middle:

                Guess is that your computer is too slow, and that there are
                some timing problems. Another possibility is that this is a
                Watcom memory bug. The demo was made in 2 weeks from scratch,
                so not everything is perfected properly.


        The music hicks, sounds strange or doesn't sound at all:

                Try to contact MikMak. He wrote the music system.

        [Simm:]
        This demo is actually a high-performance test for my new 3D engine
        which I am going to use in further productions. Some specs on this
        engine:

                scene hierarchy: unlimited scenes, unlimited objects,
                                 unlimited lights, one camera.

                motions: Full TCB-adjustable Kochanek-Bartels spline motions
                         with unlimited keys.

                lighting: additive monochromatic indexed lighting which is
                          gouraud shaded across the polygons.

                polygons: subpixel interpolated coordinates with or without
                          texture mapping (no perspective corrections yet).

                colors: 8 bit, fully self-selecting optimal palette.

                resolution: from 320x200 up to whatever your VESA dealer can
                            get you (although in Dea only 320x200 is
                            implemented).

                special effects: motion blur, lens flares, color fog.

        Jukka Liimatta: for giving me the idea of using a panel with pentium
                        TSC information to time everything, and ofcourse for
                        the Watcom VESA stuff.
                        Can you send me that hyper-fast fsqrt routine of
                        yours?

        Lassi Nikko: If you need a betatester for your tracker, don't
                     hesitate to contact me.

        EMF & Plant: hello and sorry for the lack of inspiration here :)

        Raisa Lesonen: for having such a wonderful sauna!

        everyone who thinks DEA is some American anti-drugs thing:

                DEA IS GREEK FOR GODDESS !
