 --- 0.1 - Opening words --

  Welcome to our infofile! We hope you like the group, the information and our
  productions.
  Please feel free to ask whatever you want about us. That way, you'll be
  contributing to the FAQ section of this file. By the way, do not e-mail us
  rude or worthless stuff, because you'll just end up wasting our time...
  and yours! Enjoy the file!

 --- 0.2 - What's new --

  Since this is the first version of our infofile, all of this is new...
  But let's talk intros: along with this file, there is another called
  BTINTRO.EXE. That's the intro for our WHQ, Black Town BBS. It has been
  optimized for size, so if you check it out, you'll see that it doesn't even
  reach 4Kb! Only 3.415 bytes! And that's the philosophy of an intro: it has
  to be TINY. After all the stuff (some of it very good) we've seen, we
  decided to stick to one objective, and that is to make it small. You may be
  asking how we have shrunk so much text on less than 4Kb. It was coded in
  100% Assembly language. For those who don't know what that means, let's
  just say that it's machine language therefore it is very tight, but also
  very prone to hangs and crashes (not ours, though) and extremely faster
  than any high-level language such as Pascal or C. Well, just enjoy it and
  read the scroller, OK?

 --- 1.3 - Brief history of the group --

  This is a rather new group. The original idea started as a joke between
  Brain Power and DJ Mind. They met in a board and started talking frequently
  about techno music, which they are both fond lovers of. The DJ had been
  composing tracks for a long time, and they started swapping material. Brain
  Power thought it was awesome, and they went on and on exchanging stuff
  for 2 or 3 months, until they decided to meet themselves live. So, Brain
  thought it'd be cool to have a demogroup, something he had been wishing for
  a long time ago. Mind agreed, and plans started growing. BP and Mind had
  heard of a coder around these parts (Cool Man) and BP decided to contact him
  on the phone. They exchanged ideas and plans, and CM also liked the idea of
  creating a group. Plus, he had a friend, a SysOp friend (Black Thunder) who
  he had met a long time before. Then, after Cool Man and Brain Power met live,
  the day after we decided to gather to get to know ourselves better. And so,
  the Darkness Unknown Force was founded on the 22nd of October 1995, starting
  off with 4 members (check out the memberlist): 2 coders, 1 musician and
  1 SysOp. His board is Black Town BBS, and hopefully the best demo-oriented
  BBS around! Don't stand there, give it a call!! (After you finish reading...)

 --- 1.4 - About the members --

  We are all quite young, but very experienced at our tasks. Brain Power and
  Cool Man are coders almost since they were born (well... almost), the DJ has
  been composing for almost 3 years, and Black Thunder has been on the BBS
  scene for many, many years. Therefore, you might expect us to be competent
  at what we do, none of us is lame. You see, we LIKE to do things right.

 --- 1.5 - The future of the group --

  We hope to release a demo (yes, a demo!! Maybe the first quality Portuguese
  production, who knows?) around March or so. Some routines are already made,
  but a lot of stuff is still pretty disorganised, mainly because of the group
  being so young. But it will be worth the wait! No release date is specified
  yet, but we'll keep you informed...
