                                    PrepMultiscan.EXE     For gfx-cards

····· Installation


           o  Copy included PTREPLAY.LIBRARY (v6.6) to your LIBS:

           o  Put the executable file REAPP.EXE in any directory you want

           o  Start it from a shell. Optional parameters are:

              [ NTSC | MULTISCAN | MULTISCAN2 ]       (PAL being default)

              If you are running the demo from a GFX-card-screenmode
	      the multiscan may not work properly. If so you should try
	      the PrepMultiscan.EXE utility before you start ReApp.EXE.

          *  Warning! Using these screenmodes may damage your monitor!
           There is only one way to find out and we take no responsibility!



····· Requirements


           Amiga + AGA

           Minimum: ~ 1M chip + 2M any + 020

           Recommended: 2M chip + 4M 32bit fast + 030 @ 50MHz



····· Background


            Put together for the ACG Hack IV in Umeå, Sweden, eastern 97.
           We never thought we would have time to do it properly but we
           couldn't let a democompetition in our close neighborhood just
           pass by without giving it a shot. So we did, and this is it.
           Our first demo on the Amiga ever, more of a test-drive of our
           DemoLib and 3d-engine. Anyway, first place at the Hack.

            We didn't release it right after the Hack because of some bugs
           we wanted to fix. Since the competition was virtually none at
           the Hack and the AmiTech-expo was upcoming we decided to fine-
           tune our demo in order to compete in the AmiTech-democompetition.

            The reworked version of ReAppearance came second this time. Too
           bad we weren't told that the compo-machine was a 060-equipped one.

            Now, as we are working on our next demo we picked up some of
           the old reapp-code and discovered a few hard-to-find bugs.
           Fortunately they were easy to fix and made a real difference in
           performance so we decided to release this one again.

····· Known bugs

           No Enforcer-hits and successfully tested on A4000/030/040/060
           and A1200/020/030, but...

           * Productivity screenmodes do not work 100%, I'll have to look
             at Fabio Bizzettis source again.
	     Remeber to try the PrepMultiscan.EXE if it won't work at all.
