   A BBS advertisement coded in 100% Assembly language. Took me about a month
   and a half from start to finish, and was damn tricky sometimes.

   The intro uses video double-buffering techniques, which means that on 486
   SX computers it's pretty slow. It also replaces the keyboard's interrupt
   vector with a simple handler that acts whenever the ESC key is pressed.

   It uses an internal .COM compressor called T-PACK, which took a maximum
   of 23% off the whole size. If Max / Tuscon (T-PACK's coder) is reading
   this, then a huge "thank you" must fly out for making such a great packer.

   I used T-PACK to make the intro fit into exactly 1.536 bytes, or 1.5 Kb.
