                                    INTRO

     I would decribe this as a short journey through weird and colourful
     places (it's a demo, you know ..). More prosaically it's a collection
     of routines it just happens I spent a lot of time on, having actually
     a lot of fun coding, optimizing (neverending process this one: as soon
     as you think you're done, somebody achieves three times that, with a
     twice as fast piece of code..), finding suitable colours and gradients
     and fades and stuff like that (did I say fun ?!?).

     I started coding this in early 1993 on an unexpanded A500 (How comes I
     finished only in 1996?). Only roughly half of what I've created since
     then you can find in this 9-part demo. Not everything is so up to date
     as one would like: no AGA nor Gouraud nor tmap (but something similar
     is in part 7) but the overall effect is good, colours everywhere, and
     smoothness and, I guess, some sort of "carnival" atmosphere.

                                  REQUIREMENTS

     Just 1 Mb, completely free. As this is rarely the case when you have
     only one, I'd say 2 Mb will do for sure.

                                 COMPATIBILITY

     Tested on:      A500      A3000     A1200 '030/50Mhz Fast Ram

     It *Might* be necessary to disable ICache on 040+ in order to make the
     demo work properly (should not crash anyway) as two parts use
     self-modifying code (they work fine on my 030)

     Some of the files are imploded to fit in one floppy. The trade-off is
     that loading is a bit slower and some parts require up to 100K more
     memory. If that's a problem, you can deplode this files with any
     utility supporting Imploder.

     Part 6 is a little tribute to * dEpEcHe mOdE * : the rose in the logo

     There had to be also a part dedicated to * tHe cUre * ..

                                 LAST WORDS

     Spending some words on the name "RamJam" of this demo is due : it has
     nothing to do with the homonymous italian group. Instead, it's
     reminiscent of "The Ram Jam Corporation" (game developers on the
     Spectrum!), and I didn't know of the existence of Ram Jam in Italy
     (I'm an outsider of the scene) , other than after the drawing of most
     of the gfx. I do apologize for the use of their name so extensively in
     a demo which has nothing to do with them.

     Here's my address:
