   This Demo is freeware.  You may distribute it as much as you want
   (Actually, pass it around like crazy!) but you may not sell it or use
   it in a form that will gain profit.

     System requirements:
          - At least a 386 computer (486 is much better)
          - 565 K conventional memory
          - Gravis UltraSound for music

     This demo was designed to run on a fast computer, in this case a 486
   DX.  Any type of 486 is recommended, but to achieve optimum speed and 
   quality, a computer as fast as a 486 DX 33 would be excellent.
   Also, such things as a local bus video card would raise the smoothness
   of the visual effects.  
     Also recommended is a GUS (Gravis UltraSound) to have the accompanying
   music play in the backgound.
     As for memory, The Accident is very lenient.  Only about 565 K of
   conventional memory is needed.  Believe it or not, EMS is not needed in
   this demo.  So those evil handlers such as EMM386 and QEMM will not
   affect the demo.

     There are also two parameters you can input with the command line.
   The first one will determine where in the demo you will begin, and the
   second one can adjust the volume.
   eg:

      c:\ACCIDENT>Accident 1 30    (Start at part 1 at volume 30)

   The separate parts of the demo are like so:                        
     0 - Start at the beginning.
     1 - Start at the falling raindrops scene.
     2 - Start at the real-time morphing effect.
     3 - The end credits for the demo.
     4 - The final starscape text scroller.
   The Volume can be adjusted within the range 0-60.

   THIS DEMO WAS OUR VERY FIRST PRODUCTION EVER.

     The memberlist of Axidental is as follows:

     The demo group Axidental was founded in Canada, early 1994, in the 
   month of March.  It was composed of five people, two of which 
   were main coders, two who were graphic artists, and three musicians.  
   These were LakEEE, PsychoMan, sLh, Iron Grip and Zeitgeist.  The 
   decision to enter Assembly 94' was made around April, and early coding
   for The Accident was started during the month of May.  During this time,
   LakEEE and PsychoMan were doing most of the work, and the others were
   (unfortunately, no hard feelings, guys) less productive.  This didn't
   mean they were bad coders or what not, but they weren't as driven as the
   other two.  By late June, Iron Grip, sLh, and Zeitgeist were dropped 
   from the group, and two new members, BioCide and Cyclone, were brought
   in.  BioCide proved to be an excellent organizer and public manager, 
   while Cyclone was an astounding musician.  At this point, the making of
   The Accident really took off, and the whole thing was finished just in
   time, on August 2nd.  During the last few months, the members Edge,
   Dark Spy and Mental Floss joined the group.  These three made up the
   final people belonging to Axidental.
     The initial purpose of the creation of Axidental was to show the demo 
   world that Canada was also a country with demo coders to provide some
   competition.
     We hope we made an impression!
