The STRAUS demonstration program may be downloaded here. It contains an interactive simulation of the STRAUS system in action.

For compatibility reasons the demo works in VGA mode only - although STRAUS supports high resolutions up to 1024 x 768 in 256 colours.

To intall the demo, simply down load the file ST6demo.zip and copy it into a separate directory such as C:\st6demo. Then unzip it. You can then run it by typing "demo".

This file has been zipped with PKZIP version 2.04g To unzip the files use PKUNZIP. If you do not have PKUNZIP, PKWARE distributes this software.
