SPACE FX version 1.0 Frequently Asked Questions

Q: It's a bit slow isn't it?

A: SPACE FX requires a 386 or better processor and at
   least 580k of free memory. If you do not have a
   coprocessor then it will crawl on a 386.
   The program uses a LOT of floatimg point calculations
   because I'm not clever enough to do it any other way.
   The copro cuts calculation time by at least 10.

Q: How can I generate more than 1000 images?

A: You want to WHAT!?
   If you're that serious you can try this.
    1. Name TWO (or more) project files.
       Call one of them FILE0
       Call the other   FILE1
    2. Using FILE0, generate 1000 frames. FILE0000 to FILE0999.
       Using FILE1, generate 1000 frames. FILE1000 to FILE1999.
    3. Call up DTA (or whatever) with FLIC-DTA FILE

   Mind you, you'll need 400Mb for all these files!
   Use the same method if you need to bridge frames 990 to 1028.
