   ( so impressed with all you do
     tried so hard to be like you
     flew too high and burnt the wing
     lost my faith in everything )

troubleshoot.
if the demo refuses to run, check if
your graphics card meets the requirements:
dumbnut uses textures up to 1024x512 (so no voodoo 1, 2 or 3,
rage pro or riva 128, sorry), multi-texturing, alpha-blending
and 32bit textures.
a minimum of 16mb of video memory is also required, and to be
sure, install the latest drivers.

if it still doesn't run properly, try to close all other
programs that could interfere with the demo, like virus
scanners, winamp, photoshop or a resident mouse driver.

this final version should run under windows 2000 without crashing.
the loading time has been reduced by 50% and the mapping should
work on tnt and tnt2 cards. if you still experience problems,
mail the dumbnut.log file and a description of the problem to

t.c.p@eichel-studios.com

for slower videocards (or pal/ntsc output), it is now also
possible to disable the vertical retrace syncing (at the expense
of some flicker).

btw. the text in braces is not by us
of course it's by trent reznor and surely
(c) by alotofmoneymakinsupagorillas.

the sound library we had the pleasure to use is
called bass and is (c) 1999-2000 Ian Luck.

we also were keen enough to use some very nice indeed
libraries for image reading, in particular:
 * libJPEG (C) 1994-1996, Thomas G. Lane.
 * libPNG (c) 1995, 1996 Guy Eric Schalnat, Group 42, Inc.
          (c) 1996, 1997 Andreas Dilger
          (c) 1998 Glenn Randers-Pehrson
oh well.

last but not james, we compressed our filthy demo data with
the help of the zlib compression library,
copyright (C) 1995-1998 Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler.

but (c) by us is all this demo stuff and the
epunk(tm) demo-engine and the vader abraham(tm)
sackrattengebläse.

and won't you forget, this is free software.
copy it free of charge, but place this document in the package.
be aware though, this demo comes without any warranty of 
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. we cannot
accept liability for damages or failures arising from the use
of this brötchen, ehm demo. anything you do with this software
happens completely at your own risk. period.

thank, you.
