winter.  all the leaves have left their trees to seek shelter under  the
snow,  to escape from the  coldness and blizzards whirling above  earth.
and here i am.  sitting in my warm house not concerned about the weather
outside, but writing a program -that has never ever been written before.
this program  i named luminous,  from the latin word 'luminomius'  which
means;  beaming light,  or light source  without  the presence of  heat.

i n f o .

this  demo entered  a compo  held at #coders (efnet)  during x-mas 1997.
out of 25 entries it was voted the best. but since i was involved in the
organizing,  many believed me to have been cheating. unfortunately i was
not the one counting the votes.

r e q u i r e m e n t e s .

to be able to run the demo you need a 386, due to the use of certain 386
instructions. but a pentium is highly recommended.

attention: on some  machines the  palette routines doesn't seem to work.
please report any similar failures.

d i s c l a i m e r .

though i am  very sure that this  program is not hazardous  in any way i
cannot  assure you that  it is not fatal.  (ie. run at  your own  risk!)
