"Multiple Choice", a demo from The Cartel, Norway.

Platform
--------
Originally: Amiga OCS/ECS 512kB chipmem, 68000 CPU
2023-version: Amiga OCS/ECS/AGA, all models

History
-------
Originally released in November 1988. (Scrolltext written November 6th 1988.)

This is the first independent production from The Cartel, although some of the 
skeleton-code was borrowed from Cracker/The Gang (with permission).

The production is assumed to be lost as an Amiga Load-file. The only copy in my 
archive is encoded/crunched and written directly to tracks by "The Fast Filer" 
(WTJ Riezebos), which makes a bootable non-DOS-disk with boot-strapped 
selection menu for starting the programs. (this ADF is included in ZIP-archive)

Restoration
-----------
I have disassembled the demo from memory, and made it compatible for all Amigas 
(hopefully). Fully position-independent code, with chip-mem reserved by loader. 

The original code had only absolute addressing in chip-mem, without allocation, 
and would only run on an unexpanded A500/A1000 (with chipmem only). And with no 
blit-waits, so the blitting would not work on accelerated systems.

Can be run from both CLI and WB.

The original Soundtracker v2 modules were converted to Protracker format using 
Protracker v3.15. (assuming the original play-routine would have had 
timing-issues on accelerated Amigas.)
