    Welcome to the HYPNOSIS information file version 1.4. This textfile has
    been written to inform people about HYPNOSIS, our productions, and gives
    a brief history of the group.

    If you are interested in us making a demo or game for you, don't hesitate
    to contact us. Please read the information in chapter 3 of this file.

    This file will be updated as things change. Please make sure that you
    always have an updated version of this file, in order to prevent any
    mail from getting lost, and to avoid misunderstanding.


                            2: Files in the package
                           ÍÍÍÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÍÍÍ

    This information package contains the following files:

    HYPNOSIS.NFO    The HYPNOSIS information file

    DISTSITE.HYP    The HYPNOSIS application file

                  ÍÍÍÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÍÍÍ

    If you find our intros and demos interesting and would like us to make
    something for commercial purposes, do not hesitate to contact us.

    When contacting us, please include a short explanation of the kind of
    production you had in mind. It would help us with the evaluation of
    the size of the project.

    Would you be so kind as to include the following information:

        - What kinds of effects would you be interested in.
        - Should there be any colorful logos, pictures etc.
        - If the demo should have sound, which sound cards
          would you like it to support, and what type of
          music should be played.
        - How big should the demo be in kilobytes and how
          long should the demo be in minutes approximately.
        - Where will the demo be used, and what will it be
          used for.
        - How soon would you like the demo to be finished.
        - Approximately how much would you be willing to
          pay for the demo.

    All our productions are realtime calculations and not animations.
    This means that the speed of the demo depends a lot on the speed
    of the processor, of the video card, and of the sound card.

    You should also bear in mind that we do not make demos for Microsoft
    Windows, or any other GUI operating system. All our productions are
    meant for the IBM PC and compatibles and should be running under
    MS-DOS or PC-DOS.

    You can find our contact information in chapter 8 of this file.

                         7: A brief history of HYPNOSIS
                        ÍÍÍÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÍÍÍ

 1989

    - In a time when Future Brain Inc, Control Software and Trsi were
      ruling the swapping/cracking scene, a group called Resist was
      born. The group was founded by Progress, Arachnatron and Cyborg.
    - After getting bored with the cracking/swapping scene Resist became
      a demo group. We were one of the first back then making VGA intros
      with smooth scrollers.

 1990

    - TCS (True Coders Society) was founded by Vivian and Tranquilizer.
      The group made a small intro with panning blocks, scrollers, etc.
      to announce the new born group.
    - Resist made a Christmas demo containing a sinus scroll, and the
      first ever real snow flakes.

 1991

    - At the end of this year, Resist and TCS joined and became ExTaCY.
    - The group was mainly occupied with the board scene and we tried
      to make sure that all the new 'warez' could be downloaded at our
      distribution sites. It was in that period that we learnt about
      real demos and started to make new contacts in the demo scene.

 1992

    - ExTaCY and The Untouchables joined and became ExTaCY/Tu. The group
      released a small demo to announce the merge between the groups and
      released several small BBS intros for The Drool Zone, Mystery, and
      made a Christmas vector demo with a sine-plasma-scroll, lots of
      vectors and fireworks.

 1993

    - Some members left ExTaCY/Tu after a disagreement on future policies
      of the group, and we decided to change the name back to ExTaCY.
    - ExTaCY decided to stop trading, gave up the boards and started to
      work on a demo under a new name, HYPNOSIS.
    - HYPNOSIS worked on a demo called 'A Year of Agony'. We had decided
      to release it at the Party 93. It really had been a Year of Agony
      for us with many disappointments and setbacks but we continued to
      work on 'A Year of Agony'. Unfortunately, just two weeks before the
      Party 93, Prime, Excalibur, Acute and Sourcerer decided to leave
      the group to start their own group called Inertia. Now we were stuck
      without a player and could not release the demo with any sound.

 1994

    - After releasing 'A Year of Agony' we decided to work on a music
      system for our future productions. For now, it only plays through
      the Gravis UltraSound, but we hope to add support for other cards
      soon.
    - We heard that some people in the board scene were organizing a
      PC only party and we decided to make a party invitation intro
      for it.
    - In december HYPNOSIS will ofcourse be travelling to the PARTY 94.
      Because of this, we have organised a bustrip and have released a
      bustrip invitation intro.
    - We released the source code for the Pentagram Intro in december.
      Hope you enjoy it...

 1995                         A look at the future

    - We hope to add SoundBlaster and SoundBlaster Pro support to the new
      player this year and we will be doing a few intro's, perhaps even a
      demo. Also, there might be a little co-operation between us and a
      well known dutch group, so keep those eyes peeled...
    - We hope to finish two or three games this year and these will be our
      first commercial projects. If anyone wants to publish these games,
      please contact us.
