============================== README.TXT ================================
Welcome to the Hornet Underground CDROM.
If a file ends in .arj, .a01, .a02, etc., it means that the demo is split
across several files. Within the "view" program, simply install the .arj
file first and then all subsequent .a0x files in order.
For someone not in the demo "scene", the productions on this disc might
seem a bit confusing. How do I make my system work with demos? Why
don't they run with my Sound Blaster? Why don't they run under Windows?
Included in the root directory of this CD is a file called demos.faq.
This FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) will answer many or all of your
questions.
!!!!!! If you have trouble with this CD, first look at the FAQ !!!!!!!
A bit of information is required to understand how the files on this
disc are described.
_____Types of Files
Demos : Demos are full sized productions, containing graphics and a full
soundtrack. They typically range from 500k to 4meg in size. Modern
demos are often released only at parties.
64k Intros : These productions are smaller versions of demos. They
still contain music and graphics even though they are only 64k in size!
They are one of the more popular forms of demos today.
4k Intros : These productions are the smallest of all. 4k intros are
can be, at maximum size, 4096 bytes. In general, 4k intros have no
music or graphics, only code-based effects. Modern 4k intros are
actually starting to incorporate music!
Here are a list of abbreviations we use in our description files for
different types of files:
Type Explanation
---- ----------------
demo Demo
infs Intros (fast)
in4k Intros (4k)
in8k Intros (8k)
in64 Intros (64k)
_____Where are Demos Released?
In the olden days (before 1993), most demos were just released on the
spur of the moment. Suddenly a group would become inspired, make a
demo, and release it to the public.
In modern times, most of the good demos are saved for parties. "Party"
is simply demo scene slang for a convention or gathering. At parties,
competitions are held. These compos determine who entered the best
demo, 64k intro, 4k intro, etc.
For description purposes, Hornet has made a set of 3-6 character
abbreviations -- one for each party. By using these abbreviations in
descriptions, anyone can quickly determine what party a demo was
released at.
Here is a list of all currently used "party markers":

_____Demos are Rated
Hornet rates all productions that are uploaded to its archive. We do
this so that people who don't have infinite time can easily see what the
best uploads of the week were.
Ratings vary from "+" (0.5 stars) to "*****" (5.0 stars). The more
stars, the better the production. Files rated "[n/a]" mean that we
couldn't get the demo to run (locked up or crashed the system). Files
rated "[rip]" mean that material from the production was stolen from
someone else or blatantly miscredited. A rating of "[rip]" is a very
bad thing to get.
_____Putting it Together
Each directory on this CD has a file called 00_index.txt that describes
the contents of the current directory. Here is an explanation of the
fields.
Name Date Description

dawn.zip 63739 01-29-96 ***+ JUH96A:in64:01: Dawn by Jamm
demulamu.zip 37877 02-03-96 * JUH96A:in64:XX: Demu Lamu by PWP

Size Rating
Take the description for dawn.zip (as an example):
JUH96A:in64:01: Dawn by Jamm
In this case, the demo is called "Dawn" by "Jamm". It competed at Juhla
1996 (JUH96A) in the 64k Intro Compo (in64) and placed first (01).
