    The syntax for running Happiness is:   HAPPINES [options]
.                                                                          .
      Where options are case insensitive, and can be:
        /?,/h    - Help
.          If /? or /h are the first parameter on the command line,        .
           then a brief summary of the available parameters will be
           given.

        /ss      - Manual sound setup

           When Happiness begins, it will attempt to autodetect your
.          sound card. If it is unable to, then it will load the setup     .
           programme so that you can manually select your sound hardware.
           According to MIDAS, with some sound cards (in particular WSS),
           autodetection is unsafe. Therefore, if you want to skip the
           autodetection and go straight to the manual sound setup, use
           the /ss option.

        /w95     - To run under windows 95                                 .

           Use this option if you wish to run Happiness under a            .
           Windows 95 DOS prompt. Happiness will run under Windows 95
           (with some degradation in performance), however if you
.          simply run HAPPINES.EXE on its own you are likely to crash      .
           your DOS prompt, or the whole system. The problem is that in    :
           order to do its timing, Happiness sets the timer interrupt      |
           to 100 times per second (versus the 18.2 times per second       ³
           for a normal DOS session). Naturally, Windows 95 is not         ³
           happy with this, and so it will usually switch back and         |
           suggest that the demo would run better under pure DOS and       :
           ask you if you would like to create a shortcut to the demo      :
.          in DOS mode. Windows 95 is not lying when it says this; the
           demo does actually run a lot better under DOS, and              .
.          restarting in DOS mode is recommended if possible. However,     .
           if you must run under Windows 95 (perhaps you are sadistic
           or for some reason just don't have the option), then you
.          will probably click 'No' to the suggestion, then try to
:          switch back to the DOS prompt to let the demo run.
|          This would be fine, but unfortunately the very first section
³          of the demo is in a VESA mode, and for some (good??) reason
³          Windows 95 does not like switching back into VESA modes, and
|          so it either crashes the DOS prompt or the whole system, or
:          at best tells you that it cannot restore the demo. To get
:          over this problem, use the /w95 switch when running
³          Happiness. This inserts a pause in text mode at the
.          beginning of the demo, to give windows an opportunity to        .
.          complain, and then let you switch back to the DOS prompt, at
:          which point you press space to begin the demo. Depending on     .
:          whether Windows 95 feels the need to be slow or not, the
           demo may actually ask you to press space before windows
           complains. If windows does indeed complain, you should let it   .
.          do so before you go back to the DOS prompt and press space.     :
           If you don't, then it will definitely crash. If windows only    |
.          ever complains after you press space, then I have done a bad    ³
           job coding that section and you probably won't be able to       ³
           view the demo under Windows 95.                                 |
.          Note that in a particular DOS session, windows will probably    :
:          only complain the first time, and so you may not even need      :
|          the /w95 option if you want to run the demo again. However,
³          Windows' divine influence does not stop there. Occasionally,    .
³          for no apparently good reason, upon running the demo a second   .
|          time in a DOS prompt the music plays with a lot of static
:          and then the demo crashes after a few seconds. You should be
:          able to recover from this by closing the DOS prompt and
³          starting a new one (don't forget to use the /w95 option if
.          you want to run the demo again, though).
.

:  Note that if you want or need to, you can use both the /ss and /w95     |
                      options when running Happiness.                      ³

     If your video card does not support the required mode, then UNIVBE

     This demo will work successfully with both VESA2.0 and VESA1.2 video
     display cards. It has been tested successfully on
             TSENG Labs. ET6000 without Univbe (didn't work with SDD)      .
             Trident 9440 with or without Univbe (scitech display doctor)
             Cirrus Logic 5430 with Univbe
     The current version of Scitech display doctor has a Direct X2          
     software patch; which tends to screw around quite seriously with      `
     our video mode detection (and also with many other non-JiNX demos     :
     too). If you can disable it, this may improve your chances of having  |
     Happiness work with your video hardware.                              ³

.
    Well, you could say that it started in 1983. My parents took a long
    holiday to the wonderful island of Hong Kong.
.   While on tour, they bought many a souvenir of their travels; one of
:   these, was a small, curious Cantonese symbol. The fellow at the stall
|   where the symbol was bought, said to hang it on our toilet door, as
³   it was a symbol of luck and good will. So we did.
³   This symbol, is Cantonese for Happiness; and I have recreated an
|   almost perfect copy of it, and composited it with its English          :
:   translation at the twilight of the demo, as a 640x480 24bit 3d Studio  :
:   rendering.                                                             |
:   After seeing this lovely, charming symbol day in-day out (almost every ³
³   day from 1983 until 1997) I thought it deserved to be recreated for    ³
.   a demo appearance. :)                                                  |
.   Furthermore, in 1994, a friend of mine obtained a copy of a Front 242  :
:   album (Mixage Mutage), which had a trancey, quite beautiful song on    :
:   it; funnily enough, named Happiness.
    With the bells throughout the song, it somehow conjured up images      .
    of a China/Hong Kong which I had never seen, and perfectly matched     
    the Cantonese symbol on my WC door. So I sampled this song, tracked it,:
    remixed it, and that is the demo music.                                |
    Routines, easy on the eye, were written (ie. they were very fluid and  ³
    easy to watch, and hopefully appreciate). Also, with a couple of new   ³
    things people may not have seen yet (eg. Zoom Cubes).                  |
    Lack of time prevented this production from continuing any longer,     :
    but it was enough to win the Demo Competition at Coven '97, in         :
    Adelaide, Australia.                                                   ³
                                                                           .
         This is why the demo is named Happiness.                          .
