    Distributing
    ============
        HALLUCINOGEN  may be freely copied and distributed =providing=  the 
    following three conditions are met:

            * No profit is made

            * The following two files remain together:
                          HALLUCIN.PRG (TOS binary, 49350 bytes) - screen
                          HALLUCIN.TXT (ASCII, 4299 bytes) - this text file

            * The above two files remain unaltered

        Other files (e.g.  BBS adverts) should not be copied with the above 
    two  files,  and  may be removed providing the above two  files  remain 
    together and unaltered.


    System Requirements
    ===================
        HALLUCINOGEN requires a blitter chip (either 8MHz or 16MHz), and is 
    primarily  designed for the STE,  MEGA-ST(E) and  FALCON.   The  screen 
    won`t run on an STFM.   It may also run on a TT,  though it`s not  been 
    tested (as of the release date).

        The demo requires 405Kbs of RAM,  so it will run on a 520,  but you 
    may  need to remove some resident programs from memory if you have  any 
    problems.   It goes without saying that it must be run on the machine`s 
    native TOS (not MultiTOS,  MagiC,  etc) in ST low res (320 by 200 by 16 
    colors).

        If you experience any unusual problems trying to run  HALLUCINOGEN, 
    please let me know, describing the system setup you have and the nature 
    of the problem.   [See 'Contacting Us' below, for details of contacting 
    VIRTUAL INFINITY].


    Other Information
    =================
        This  screen  (or something very much like it) was  conceived  over 
    four months,  back in July `94.   Several sleepless  nights,  countless 
    cups of coffee,  many many hours when I should have been worrying about 
    other  things,  and fifty megabytes of graphics later,  it has  finally 
    escaped from the depths of my harddrive!

        HALLUCINOGEN contains stunning effects,  as promised, some of which 
    have never been seen in GFA before:

            * Realtime, 4 bitplane bouncing scrolltext
            * Massive 4 bitplane sprites
            * 'Pre-coded' JPEG images
            * 'Pre-coded' MPEG animation

            * All running synchronously at 50Hz
            * All coded in pure GFA (except musyc)

        The  digital  images contained within this demo were taken  by  the 
    Hubble Space Telescope,  back in July,  when the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet 
    collided  with Jupiter with spectacular force.   Any subliminal  images 
    contained within this demo are harmless.

        The main credits for the demo are as follows:

            * GFA graphics coding and screen compilation by Professor
            * 68000 musyc coding by Kryten
            * VIRTUAL INFINITY logo and bombs painted by 68K
            * Font painted by SH3 of Reservoir Gods
            * Animation sequence compiled by Walt Feimer
            * Ripped musyc written by Big Al

        Please  read  the  scrolltext  on the  actual  screen  for  further 
    information, including greetings and technical details.
