- ■ ABOUT THE INTRO ■───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- ───────────────
-
- This is the quick reference for my first 4KB Intro which was coded for
- the Assembly'94 4KB Intro Competition.
- It is very likely that we (Dust) will release another version which will
- have Adlib Sound, full XMS/HIMEM support and error-messages. That wasn't
- possible in this version because of the 4KB limit. The other intro is not
- going to be much longer than 5KB, though.
- There may also the SOURCE-CODE coming along with that version depending
- on how many people are interested in it.
-
- The question what happens during the long time until the intro starts is
- easy to answer: the fractal is calculated (rotating & zooming is enough
- real-time calculations) and all tables for execution are set up.

- ■ HOW TO GET IT GOING ■───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- ───────────────────
-
- In order to get it going, you'll need the following:
-
- ∙ preferably a 486, but it does also run on a normal 386
- ∙ a standard VGA
- ∙ about 3MB of XMS and 512KB of Base Memory (a PC with 4MB)
- ∙ A clean configuration. You can also have one that does only use
- HIMEM.SYS, but you cannot use more than 192KB of XMS -> no smartdrive
- ∙ about 4KB of diskspace
-
-
-
- ■ TROUBLESHOOTING ■───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- ───────────────
-
- If it doesn't run (i.e. you start it and are back to DOS immediately)
- you have (or don't have) one or more of the following:
-
- ∙ a 386 or higher processor
- ∙ not enough XMS memory (your PC needs 4MB altogether)
- ∙ not enough Base Memory (you'll need more than 512KB)
- ∙ the wrong configuration: remember to have a clean boot (press F5 while
- booting if you have MS-DOS 6.0 or higher), or a HIMEM-configuration. If
- you use an Expanded Memory Manager such as EMM386 or QEMM it won't run!
- ∙ enough time to wait for the start-up message to disappear
-
- If it hangs during execution or afterwards, you have the wrong
- configuration.
