1991 demoscene entry.
Demo description
Basic demo with scrolling starfield, meters, and MOD music.
Recommended DOSBox-X configuration
[dosbox] machine=vgaonly memsize=1 iodelay=0 [cpu] cycles=5000 core=normal cputype=386 [speaker] pcspeaker=true initial frequency=0
Demo uses the internal PC speaker for music. A bug in the demo leaves the PC speaker on before the music starts, you can eliminiate the initial long beep by setting ``initial frequency=0''. Music is amplified and slightly distorted. You can hear a higher quality rendition by using a dedicated MOD player like MikMod or VLC player to play the files.
How to run
Mount the demo so that it is visible under a drive letter in DOSBox. The demo expects you to run TORSO.BAT so that it can display a message, wait for you to hit enter, then run the demo (P.COM).
It was only a Test-version but the SOURCE is lost.
So enjoy this last version.

DOSBox-X bugs
Scratchy PC speaker audio
Except when core=dynamic, PC speaker audio gets ``scratchy'' when a lot of video redraw happens, or during VGA palette fades. Until resolved, the workaround is to set iodelay=0.
