Foreword
--------
Welcome to the world of multimedia, where computer enthusiasts surf on
the waves of silicon. Are you ready to experience the future of computing,
are you ready to enter the playgrounds of virtual reality?
The Assembly '94 CD-ROM is the very first extensive collection of the
world's best pieces of computer art. While professional artists create works
with multi-million dollar budgets, young computer wizards produce their
magnificient works on mere home computers.
On this CD-ROM you will find art that is also fun - you can experience
thrilling flights in strange worlds or dance to hypnotic rhythems along
with dizzying effects! This CD-ROM puts hours of entertainment at your
fingertips.
The products on this CD-ROM vary from movie-like multimedia demostrations
showing masterpieces of programming talent to painted snapshot pictures.
When your favourite word processor grabs 30 megabytes of harddisk space,
these young computer wizzkids can fit fractal zoomers, plasmas and vectors
into 4 kilobytes!
Assembly '94 was the biggest gathering of computer enthusiast ever held
in the whole world - over 3400 people attended the party during a summer
weekend! Also the productions from Assembly '94 represent the very best
in home computer art.
Thank you for purchasing the Assembly '94 CD-ROM. Now we are preparing for
Assembly '95 and its highly innovative CD-ROM!

Guide to the Graphical User Interface
-------------------------------------
Abbreviations
------------
The following abbreviations will be used in this chapter
GUI Graphical User Interface
RMB Right mouse button
LMB Left mouse button
<ESC> ESCape key
<ENTER> ENTER key
About the GUI (Graphic User Interface)
--------------------------------------
In fact there is not just one GUI included with this CD-ROM but two (one
for PC compatibles and another for Amigas). Both GUIs work similarly, so
whenever there is a mention of GUI in this guide, it means that the same
command / set of actions is valid for both GUIs.
The GUI is designed to be used with your mouse. If you are using a PC
compatible, be sure to load your mouse driver before you start the GUI. If
you don't have a mouse, you can use your cursor keys to move around. Your
<ESC> will substitute for RMB and <ENTER> for LMB. Your function keys (F1
to F7) will select between demo, 64 kb & 4 kb intro, source, 4 channel &
32 channel music and graphics menus (that is, if you press F1 the demo menu
will show up and if you press F5 the graphics menu will pop up).
Note to PC users: If your graphics card does not support the VESA
standard directly (on-board) you should load your VESA driver before
running the PC GUI because the displayer for the pictures uses the
standard VESA mode 640 x 480 x 256c.
About Inertia Player V 1.21 Assembly '94 CD Version
---------------------------------------------------
Inertia Player V 1.21 Assembly '94 CD Version is an excellent multiple
format module player. It plays almost every type of module correctly. It
supports all major soundboard standards from Covox to Gravis UltraSound.
It has a great graphic user interface that is easy to use. For further
information refer to the InertiaPlayer manual in the Info directory.
