Dear Sir
Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, the demo you have is not one
that we have authorised for release. You should find a more stable demo
from our website very shortly.

> The demo available for download on the internet has no 3DFX support.
> The demo on the coverdisks of the UK mags have no 3DFX support.
> The demo on the German magazine Gamestar has full 3DFX support
> (apparently)
> I have also heard that you may be releasing another demo shortly.
