Released at asm'97 as a 4k intro.

===== tECHsPEX ========================================================

The videomode used is 256x256x256 chained. It is fully ibm vga register
compatible and should work with every vga card/monitor. However it
probably won't so you can try starting up with one of these:

      helium 2          Standard mode13h (not all of the pic visible)
      helium 4          400 lines, a surreal aspect ratio
      helium m          Minimal (same as above, without x-centering)

Pure realmode, optimized mainly for size. A couple of 32bit things etc
are used so it requires a 386. No fpu needed.

Some fx (like the pHOnGbALL) are of course smoother in a pentium but who
cares :)

400k of free msdos ram should be more than enough.

To hear the sound (not included in the compo version!) you need an adlib
or compatible.

      helium s          ..gives silence.
