 1:                            OPENING WORDS                                 


        Welcome to the BCINFO.TXT file version 1.00 !

        This textfile was written to tell you about BC! , to
        give you answers to most of the things you would probably like
        to ask us, and to tell you how to get more demos.

        If you are interested in us making a demo for you, please,
        start reading from the next paragraph in this file.

        The things discussed in this textfile are mainly aimed to
        those people who have not seen much demos before, but are very
        interested in learning more about them and about the whole
        demo scene (=demo world) in general. In the future versions
        there will be changes and additions taking into account what
        has happened since the last information package.

 2:                     DEMOS FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES                        


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

        When contacting us, please, include a short explanation of
        what kind of a demo you are interested in. That would greatly
        help us in evaluating the size of the project.

        Kindly include, for example, the following information:

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

        We would like you to understand that our demos are not animations.
        This means that nearly everything you see on the screen is being
        real-time calculated. The speed of the movement is usually
        dependant to the speed of the VGA card and the speed of the
        processor.

        When contacting us, you should realise that we are all rather
        young and thus still studying in various schools. This is why
        our time is usually quite limited. And it is very likely that
        we might already be involved in another project(s).

        You should also know that we do not make demos for Microsoft
        Windows due to its limitations from an assembly language
        programming point of view.

        Since normal mail is quite a slow way to communicate, we would
        prefer the communication be made through e-mail (or if e-mail
        is not a possible way of communication for you, you can always
        try to send a fax).

        You can find our contact information from this file.


Ŀ
 3:                THE DISTRIBUTION AND USE OF OUR DEMOS                     


        All our demos, except the ones which we have created for different
        companies, are freeware.

        This means that you can copy and distribute them freely as long
        as you make no modifications to them. Also, no money can be 
        charged for copying/spreading them.
        
        If you are a NPD/HPAVC distributor, please contact us
        before including our products in your collection. If you do not
        hear from us in two weeks after sending us a fax or a letter,
        it will automatically mean that you can include our freeware
        demos in your collection.

        In general, all commercial utilization of our demos without our
        permission is strictly forbidden. This includes selling disks
        (or any other electronic media) containing our demos.

        So as you can see, Da Arpakuutio (or whatever) is _NOT_ anymore 
        our distribution site, so don't call to there, it sucks!
        In addition, you can get our demos from internet where
        a very good anonymous ftp demo site is ftp.uwp.edu (or it's mirror
        site wasp.eng.ufl.edu). Our demos can be found in the directory:
        /pub/msdos/demos/groups/brainles.c!, or something like that.

10:              HOW TO BECOME A BRAINLES C! DISTRIBUTION SITE               


        Th? Well if you really want to be our distribution site, then try
        to contact us in our WHQ or in other bbses where you can see us
        trying to hack to mack. But we require you to have atleast v32b and
        200 megs of harddisk and we don't want any SBBS or BBBS or MBBS or
        UNIX based boards!
