                        a demonstration made in 1998ad.
                        you saw 10 months of hard work in 10 minutes.
                        we are happy about finishing it finally because we
                        intended to release this at The Party 7.
                        hope you like the result because we made this demo
                        for you. matrix, totally tired.


                        ok. some details.

                        unarchive all files into one directory including:

                        fulcrum.exe
                        fulcrum.dat

                        run fulcrum.exe and watch.
                        the demo is over if the upscroll is finished.

                        presentation in truecolor recommended (everything
                        should work fine if you are running a vesa 2.0
                        compatible graphics-card).

                        we recommend sdd 5.x or higher
                                     a p166 or better
                                     32 megabytes of ram

                        windows and mmx are absolutely not needed.
