Yes, Paranoia strikes again this year with its second 100% assembly
production. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2001 to everyone !
              

This piece of code is our christmas greeting to the Atari community.
Originally, we started to prepare it for the Christmas Intro compo
of DHS in 1999, but we didn't manage it in time, the music was
incomplete, the graphics were only very basic and some routines
were simply missing, not to mention the putting together.
We then stopped working on it after february 2000 and concentrated
on 'Heresy' instead but in late october, we continued this little
intro.
We hope you like it.


Requirements:
-------------
An Atari ST with a Colour Monitor and 1 Megabyte of RAM.
Atari STE and Falcon compatible, both RGB and VGA.
Harddisk installable.
Written and tested on a Falcon030/RGB and a Mega STE with
4 MB RAM, both in 8 and 16 MHz mode, with NVDI, Videlity,
MiNT and N.AES in RAM.
The syncing of the effects is done by Timer B so it should
work well in both VGA and RGB on a Falcon, but no warranties.

Does not work on the TT, i don't know why but i don't have
the time to search and does not work on a Clone.

Probably works on an emulator. If not, not my fault.



Known bugs:
-----------
On startup on STE, bitplanes might be shifted. Simply press
space to leave the demo and restart.
In the final screen, timing is critical and sometimes, a VBL
is being missed. Not a major bug, the scroller jumps 2 pixels,
that's basically all.

Have a nice and peaceful christmas and see you again in a
hopefully happy and successful new year 2001.



Sorry to all those i forgot in the greetings scroller.
