This file should accompany ACT1.EXE and ACT1.NFO. Its purpose is to inform
you, the demo world, of our existence and other 'interesting' things about us.
It was written immediately after the coding of ACT1, so is accurate on
5 October 1994. For more recent information, you could try getting in touch
with us via one of the ways given at the end of this file...

As you can see from the above, and also from watching ACT1, Psychic Link
needs a good graphics artist. If you are a graphics artist, and want to join
Psychic Link, please contact us...
We are all English, and as far as we know, we are the only group releasing
demos in the whole country (!). Yup, out of 56 Million people, there seem to be
only a handful involved in Demos. Having said this, no doubt we will all be
(e)mailed by dozens of English demo coders etc, which wouldn't be a bad thing.
We all have lame computers as you can see, so most of the stuff won't be
very processor-hungry, like many modern demos. Unfortunately this also means
that it will look better (relative to other demos) on a slow machine than on a
fast one, but don't bother trying, since it still looks better on a 486DX2 :-).

Productions:
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Aug94: MEMORIES.S3M: S-Cubed's entry for the Music Contest ][
Oct94: ACT1 finally released
Nov94: DisorderTracker 1.6 released
So, this is our first demo. Hopefully there are not too many bugs/bad looking
bits... ;-) See ACT1.NFO for more details.
Previously, S-CUBED released his EGA demo, MEGA-EGA, written on his old EGA
286, before Psychic Link was formed... :-)
We plan to release some more demos. However, what is (almost) certain is
that Statix will be releasing his tracker, DisorderTracker, (used for this
demo & more). The released version will probably be a complete re-write with
lots of cool features e.g.:
- GUS/SB PRO/SB support
- Up to 16 channels
- Saves and loads PDM (our custom format),MOD (inc 8CHN),S3M,669 etc...
- Variable length patterns (PDM only)
- Lots of FX (e.g. retrig, delay sample, set panning etc..)
- Continuous editing (copying/pasting etc.. over pattern boundaries!)
- Real time oscilloscope
- Fast playing routines
- and much more... ;-)

ProActiveLogic
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
ProActiveLogic, our WHQ BBS, is the best place to call to get in contact
with the members of PsychicLink, or to get hold of our future releases.
Needless to say there are gigs of GIFs, EXEs, MODs, demos, games and
generally all the things you could ever want from a BBS... so call now!

How to become a Psychic Link distribution site
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
If you are a Sysop of a BBS, and would like it to become a Psychic Link
distribution site, then contact us, and we will discuss it further.
There are several reasons why you might want to do this...
■ We will put the name and number of your BBS in our demos, which will
immediately force the large numbers of people who watch them to start
ringing up your BBS day and night, and subscribe to it. (i.e. Send you
large amounts of money.)
■ You will find that overnight, your BBS will become vastly popular, and
the quality of your BBS will rise far above that of any other BBS in the
country. Eventually, Psychic Link BBSs will be so influential that we
will have the power to take over the world, and t
