     OVERVIEW
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     Nemesis Indicator is a small memory resident program for Atari
     Falcon030 computers equipped with the Nemesis accelerator from Titan
     Designs Ltd.

     It displays the current Nemesis state (16/32 MHz, 20/40 MHz, or
     24/48 MHz) in the upper right corner of the screen. The first number
     is the clock frequency of the CPU and the BUS, while the number after
     the slash is the clock frequency of the DSP.

     The graphics used for displaying the Nemesis state can be changed
     and customized to your wishes. Read more under CUSTOM GRAPHICS.

     Nemesis Indicator also allows the Nemesis state to be changed by a
     simple mouse click. Clicking the left mouse button while the mouse
     cursor is within the display area will decrease the speed of the
     Nemesis, clicking the right mouse button will increase the speed.

     The NISWITCH.ACC file is an accessory that can be used to switch
     the Nemesis Indicator on and off.


     HOW TO USE
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     To run Nemesis Indicator, just double click the NIND.PRG file from
     the Desktop. The program file can also be installed in the AUTO
     folder. Would you like to use customized graphics for the Nemesis
     Indicator, copy the files NIND8.DAT and NIND16.DAT to the AUTO
     folder as well.

     NEMESIS.PRG (included with the Nemesis accelerator) must be run
     before NIND.PRG. NEMESIS.PRG installs a cookie that is is needed by
     Nemesis Indicator.

     The accessory is optional. Install it by copying it to the root
     directory of your boot drive and reboot the computer. The file can
     also be used as a normal program by changing the file extension
     to a valid extension (e.g. PRG, APP, etc).


     CUSTOM GRAPHICS
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     The graphics used for displaying the Nemesis state can be
     customized. Edit the files NIND8.DAT and NIND16.DAT to make them
     suit your needs, and if necessary, copy the files to the AUTO
     folder. The files will be read by NIND.PRG when started the next
     time. Note that if Nemesis Inidicator is already running you need to
     reboot the computer first.

     For easy editing, the NIND8.DAT and NIND16.DAT files are pure ASCII
     files with simple ASCII graphics that are converted to bitmap
     graphics when read and parsed by NIND.PRG. The NIND8.DAT file is
     used in non-interlaced RGB video modes and double line VGA video
     modes, or any other video modes making use of the smaller system
     font. The NIND16.DAT file is used for all video modes utilizing
     the larger system font.

     The files should consist of three paragraphs with 8, respectively 16
     lines each. The three paragraphs represent the 3 different Nemesis
     states (OFF, LOW, HI). Each line should be 64 characters long and
     consist of only dots and hash signs. Dots are used for transparent
     pixels, while hash signs are used for solid pixels. Any other
     character, line breaks included, is ignored when the files are read.

     Some predefined graphics can be found in the GRAPHICS folder. To
     use any of the files, copy them to the same location as NIND.PRG
     and rename them to NIND8.DAT and NIND16.DAT respectively.

     If you create some graphics that you think would be of interest to
     others, do not hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to include
     it in the next version of Nemesis Indicator.


     TECHNICAL NOTES
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     Nemesis Indicator is a memory resident program. It installs itself
     in the operating system's VBL queue. Memory usage is less than 18kb
     and CPU usage is very low (not noticable under normal operation).
