Smack by Darkness

                                S·M·A·C·K
                              A small intro 
                                   by
                               Zephyr/DNS

■ Requirements
        Minimum: 386 or better processor
                 Fully register compatible VGA card
                 Around 500k base mem free

    Reccomended: Fast 486 or preferably Pentium+ processor
                 Gus/Sb/Pas/Wss for music
                 Fast vlb/pci video card
                 *PLAIN DOS* -- NO win95

■ Problems
        Well... first of all this is a two day project, so there was hardly
and testing/debugging time :) I developed this on a p200, so im sorry that
most is not nearly optimized enough.. but it has worked on this machine,
another p200, a p75, and a 486/100.  I've not been able to actually see it
running on these machines, so it may or may not have run properly.  If you
expereince problems with the sound try running it with anything on the
command line (eg SMACK /c) and you can config the sound youself (no auto-
detect.)  If you get a error message like "MIDAS: Cannot lock virtual DMA
buffer" then you should GET OUT OF W95! :)  The music will NOT work under
w95 unless you are using the GUS driver, which works, but overall proformance
is substantially decreased b/c of w95.  If you have other problems, all i can
suggest is mail me at micali@concentric.net. Thanks! :)  Oh yeah, and sorry
about the size.. it should be under 64k, but that's what i get for using 3
full 320x200 (64k) screens =)

■ Stuff
        Smack was written in C and assembler.. BC 3.1 and Tasm were used to
compile it.  It's in realmode (rock :) and mostly regular vga mode 13h, hold
the modex 320x480 fake-truecolor plasma ;)  All gfx were drawn in Deluxe
Paint ][e by me, Zephyr, except for the first DNS logo and the yellow-ish
smiley which were done in photoshop (sorry).  Absolutly 0% 3D.. enjoy :)
Oh yeah, and full source is available upon request.  Source should always
be free! =]
