WE'LL COME                            2

Welcome in Syndicate's information  file. We made this stuff in order
to  provide  you  with some interesting news on our group. We hope you'll
enjoy  reading  this thing (whatever you may call it), and you will learn
something  useful.  Sorry  for the jokes that you might not understand or
appreciate.

HISTORY OF OUR GROUP                         3

Syndicate  was  originally  founded in September, 1992 by Fanthomas &
Luke  (not  the  Skywaler  one!). Due to being unintrested, Luke left the
group  in  April,  1993.  After that, the activity of the group (with one
member  left)  reached  new  lows  (like  Hungarian  Soccer), though they
weren't so diligent before, too. Then, in December, 1994, the idea of the
group  was  reformed  by  Fanthomas  &  MicroGenius  ('Twas only the idea
because they were two coders without other proficiencies). They tried our
limits with Syndicate's first introduction called 'Left'. It was released
at  the  Cache'95  Spring Party, on 12.03.95. They had only three days to
get  on  with  it, cause they were lazy, as usual, and began its making 2
days  before  the  party.  This  limititation  of  time  caused a loss in
quality.  Nevertheless,  to  our  surprise,  some  NICE  PEOPLE  AT PC-X,
considered it worthy to be presented in their mag.
During a month's break, Fanthomas & MicroGenius recruited some even nicer
people  to  join  the  group.  These new mebers are: Tico & Maresz. After
this,  on the Scenest'95, five hours before the deadline of the compo, we
created  our  first 4Kb intro, named 'Metal'. While making this stuff, we
realized  that  we  are  in  great  need of a few good members, so we are
looking for other people to work with   us. If you're  intrested, turn to
the 'Looking for new members' section of this info file.
A  few words about our plans for the future. Now, we are worKING on a new
demo to be released during the winter of '95-'96. We also prepare to make
a  game,  using  our  skills  and VR-System called R-MOA (Realtime Moving
Object  Animator)  realized  during years of programming. We hope to meet
you again in one of these productions !

REQUIREMENTS                            5

We don't expect you to have any problems if running our programs with
a  386 or higher processor. However, a 486 is highly recommended, and, in
some specific cases, it's essential for running at an enjoyable speed. If
you want to run them with music, you will have to have a GUS card in your
machine.  No  other  specific  devices  are required, as well as no other
sound cards are supported. (Sorry, but handling an SB would slow down the
system dramatcally. That's it.)

LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS                       7

As  we mentioned above, in the 'History of our Group' section, we are
looking  for  new members for Syndicate. If you think you are good in any
field  of  computer  'science', please let us know about it, and we'll be
glad  to  welcome  you  among  the  members  of  Hungary's hottest group,
Syndicate. Don't feel discouraged by previous unsuccess (if any), contact
us to see what you can become in a friendly group, that will help you get
through problems experienced with computers.

LOOKING FOR DISTRIBUTION SITES                    8

We're  looking for distribution sites all over the world. If your BBS
is  a  demo-orientated  one and is capable of storing at least 200Megs of
data,  you're  just  the one we want to get in touch with. Then, you will
have  to  provide  a separate file area for all Syndicate releases & they
will  have to be 100% free for download. (Naturally, your BBS MUST BE PC-
compatible, with a baud rate of at least 9600bps!)
