Elements 3.1
============

  Bringer of psychotropic entheogenic neo-tribal imagery.
  Ashton Mason, 1997.

Recommended Usage
=================

  - DOS (it might work under Win95 or NT, but probably not very well :)
  - Psychotropic vibes and grooves.
  - Selected entheogens.

Command Line Options
====================

  With any luck you should be able to get away with just typing `elements'
  and hitting enter. By default, Elements runs in 640x480. If that doesn't
  work or if you want to run in a different mode, then try adding one of
  these command line options:

  -g1    : 320x240
  -g2    : 640x480
  -g3    : 800x600
  -g4    : 1024x768
  -g5    : 1280x1024

  If push comes to shove you can try:

  -g     : Use the more robust (and rather ugly) graphics mode selection
           menu. This allows you to manually choose the graphics driver
           and mode to use with your graphics card.

Control
=======

  - Up and Down arrow keys to adjust speed.
  - Keypad / and * to toggle directions.
  - Keypad - to toggle both directions simultaneously.
  - 0-9 to program the next colour scheme.
  - Shift 0-9 to set the current colour scheme.
  - S to dump the current screen image to a PCX file.
  - Escape to quit.

The Rules
=========

  - Elements is free. You can give it away, but please don't sell it.
  - Use of Elements is at your own risk.
