Contents

- Some crappy old effects
- bad design (you found it ? we miss it !)
- some gfx
- no sound (not allowed)
- knowledge of some books about hardware
- some fine utils (Borland-Pascal editor, TASM & TLINK)
randomly smashed together and the result packed with COMPACK and
surprised that we don't steped over the 4096 bytes border.

Result

Nothing special, but ever tried to put it in 4096 Bytes??

Requirments

processor   │ 386 - we use the 386 commands to short the code
memory      │ you need arround 300 - 350 KB. That's amazing for a 4KB intro
isn't it ? =)
HD          │ 4 KB is minimum, ok ? or you use your floppy
graphiccard │ VGA
keyboard    │ You should have a <ESC>-key to smash if you are bored - some
others are required to start the Intro - means you need :
"S","M","A","L","O","N","E",Return,<ESC> - not many, aren't they ?
Uh I forgot, to find the hidden part maybe you need some other
keys - btw) you have to type a text while running ...
monitor     │ that's your thing, ok ?
MHz         │ not to slow ok ? we code it on a 386DX/25 (works fine !).
But speed depends mostly on your graphic card.
soundcard   │ sound not allowed, so there's no requirement

No V86-mode allowed - means no EMM386/WINSLOW or something like this !
BTW) Thx to all people help us to fix problems with "smartdrv required ;)"

anything else ?
Think - all what you need to run your computer !
You know useless things like AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, COMMAND.COM ...etc.

Error codes of our Intro

We had not enough space in our intro to put the full errormessage into the
code. Therefore we use errorcodes :

error 1: 386 processor (or above) required !
error 2: V86-mode (realmode emulation) not allowed !
Remove TSR/DRV like EMM386 - easiest way is to boot with no
autoexec.bat. Config.sys only with "HIMEM.SYS"
error 3: VGA-card required !
error 4: not enough memory ! Hey come on - your system works fine with free
base memory below 350 KB ?
