Thanks to the aussies for great libs :)

How to use
----------
Start the demo by double-clicking (or single click if you have turned on the stupid
single click internet explorer interface shit :) on the "Crash Boom Bang.exe"-file.
Normally, you should just press "Run" in the dialog, but if you want
to change the options feel free to do so. 

Video options:
"Fullscreen"         - Enables fullscreen mode when checked, window mode when unchecked.
"Double pixels"      - Doubles the window size, useful for window mode.
"Debug"              - Enables debug output on your monochrome monitor.
"Loop demo"          - Loops the demo. Warning! Leaks about 1,5 MB of RAM for each loop.
"Widescreen monitor" - Check this if you got an 16:10 widescreen monitor (like the Sony 24")

Sound options:
"Output driver" - Selects the output driver. Choose between Direct Sound, Waveout
                  or Nosound.
"Sound device"  - Selects the sound device to use. Nice for people with more than
                  one sound card.
"Mixing driver" - Selects the mixing driver. Normally you shouldn't need to change this.
"Frequency"     - Selects the mixing frequency. Lower frequency means lower sound quality
                  and higher speed. You don't have to change this unless your machine
                  really sucks.

Requirements
------------
- Windows 95/98/NT and DirectX.
