Biddinghuizen, Netherlands

use a hex-editor to change it to _25 if you only have that
version.)
. 2.0 vertex- and pixel-shader capable video card and drivers
with hardware TnL (Software TnL and/or non-shader version
might be available on request. We didn't include them since
we didn't want people to judge the intro by a crippled
version.)

Ok, maybe it will become a tradition among us to write footnotes in the infofile..
So, this time tsw taking over the keys: i don't know how Gargaj does it, all i see is
he does it damn well. Kklangzeug is improving with every release, and i just can't
do anything but murmur "omg" hearing the sounds he creates with this synth. And even
while making the intro, the hacks and improvements he made saved us most of what could
be saved of the file size.. H3 51 D4 R0xXoR.

Man, it feels so GOOD to have other people working on the prods... :)
