Stars3D v2.2 is a new Win32 screen saver for
Windows 95/98/NT. 

New features in v2.2:
	Lock-up fix.  Many users were experiencing a 
system lock-up when running Stars.  This version 
fixes that problem.  NOTE:  Voodoo1 users may still 
have problems unless you download the latest drivers
from your card manufacturer.  

New features in v2.0:
	All new 3D animated backgrounds
	MP3 and CD track support
	Random background selection
	Many speed optimizations

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
More backgrounds. More options.
All you have to do is register.

User's Manual:
	Playing MP3s:
	1) press [Mp3s] button from the Control Panel
	2) use the file selection box to [Add] mp3s
		to your playlist
	3) or press [Load List] to load the current
		Stars3D playlist.
	4) or press the [CD track] button to add
		a CD track to your playlist
	5) when your done adding, press [Save List]
		This saves, and sets the playlist as
		your Stars3D playlist.
	6) when done saving press [OK] to leave the 
		editor
	7) make sure to check the box "Play Mp3s"
	8) your playlist will play automatically
		the next time your screen saver is on.

	Note: Decoding mp3s while rendering intensive
	graphics may cause the song to skip, or the 
	display to jerk for a moment.  A minimum P2-266
	will most likely handle mp3 decoding without a
	problem. Though, the best way to find out if your 
	system can handle it, is to simply test out this
	trial version.

	Playing CD audio however should run fine on any
	speed machine.
	
	All other features are pretty self-explanatory.
	
	Enjoy!

Requirements:
	Stars3D requires at least a Voodoo1 graphics
	card.  Though, best performance is available
	with a Voodoo2 card. Voodoo banshee and Voodoo
	Rush are not guaranteed to work, nor are they
	supported. For best performance, a good CPU is
	a must, especially with a Voodoo1 card. The best
	way to find out what kind of performance you'll
	get is to just try out this shareware version.

	Some of the graphics processing is very intensive.
	If you experience any slow-down with a Voodoo 1
	card, simply change some of the options.
	Voodoo 2 cards should have no problem handling
	the full set of graphic enhancements.

	Stars3D has complete password protection.  Set
	and enter the password as you would for any
	other Windows screen saver.

	Stars3D is distributed as shareware, so if you
	wish to use it as your windows screen saver, you
