What is SuperGraphix???

SuperGraphix is  very similar to popular screen saver programs.  It is
not a traditional screen saver program however since SuperGraphix does
not automatically  activate (when  a key  is not  pressed over  time).
Similarly,   SuperGraphix is  NOT a TSR,  and will not stay in memory.
You must start SuperGraphix to view the various superVGA graphics.

To start  SuperGraphix,   at the  DOS prompt,   type SG and then press
enter (return).   SuperGraphix  can be run in automatic (no menu) mode
by entering /A on the command line. For example:

SG /A

The automatic (no menu) mode is particularly helpful for those wishing
to go  directly into  the demo  mode (no menu) from autoexec.bat.  The
automatic (no  menu) mode  is ideal  for  dealers  with  computers  on
display.   SuperGraphix will  run fine under Windows and comes with an
icon, SG.ICO.

SuperGraphix will detect your graphics card,  but will not detect your
monitor's capabilities.  If your monitor becomes unreadable press Esc,
or reboot your computer to reset and try a lower resolution (mode).

Programmers! You  can create  your own  demo for  the  world  to  see!
Programmers are  invited to  create  demos  for  SuperGraphix.    Read
"DEMO.TXT" for details.


NOTES AND TIPS:

*  View HELP from the Main Menu for tips on viewing demos.

*   For best  speed and  clarity,    the  800x600x256  color  mode  is
recommended.

*   Give the demo time to display.  Many demos have been programmed to
change colors when they are finished drawing. Be patient!

*   Because of  the floating  point math  involved,  some modules will
take time  to display  on  slower  computers  (Globe,  Fireworks,  and
Explosive come  to mind).   On  the other  hand,   if you have a 486DX
33MHz like  me,   you won't have any problems. Doesn't everyone have a
486DX???

*   Look for new demos to be added to SuperGraphix soon!  This is only
the beginning!  It is hoped that graphics programmers around the world
will  contribute   screen  saver  modules.    The  latest  version  of
SuperGraphix will  be located  on GEnie  and CompuServe.    Expect  an
updated version about every 6 months.
