Goto10, Elfsong and Powerline are pleased to invite you to.. C t r l - A l t - D e l e t e Invitation At the right time, at the right place.. Bang! We hit the nation with the third annual Icing party. This time with some major changes in both the board, staff and attitude. Unless you happen to be located in some faraway, sunny country - don't miss this opportunity to meet your old friends, get some new friends, and have a helluvatime. WHEN? 14 - 18 of June, 1997 The doors open at 14:00 the 14'th, and close at 10:00 the 18'th. WHERE? In Vttlehallen, Stenkullen (A suburb of Gothenburg, Sweden) HOW MUCH? 200 SEK at the door, 170 SEK in advance. Please see the end of the page for information regarding how to pay in advance (swedes only). HOW TO GET THERE: - CAR - If you're travelling by car, take the E20 towards Stockholm or Gteborg, depending on where you start. When you reach Kastenhofsmotet, leave the highway and follow the signs saying "Stenkullen". Having arrived at the center of Stenkullen, turn left into the street called Gbovgen. After about 300 metres you have Vttlehallen, the party place, on your right hand. - TRAIN, BOAT, PLANE. - When travelling using any of these vehicles you should get to Gteborg as a start. If you are one of those rich chaps or maybe a bit lazy, the right thing for you to do is to call for a cab and make the driver follow the description above. The other alternative is to locate Centralstationen, the main (and only) railway station of Gteborg and catch the local train towards Lerum. Get off at Stenkullen, the first stop after Lerum. Proceed straight forward on foot about 250 meters and you face Vttlehallen, the party place. Signs in the surrounding of the party place will guide you; you cannot virtually fail to find Icing '97. If you still do, just ask some nice-looking fellow to explain the way to the icehall "Vttlehallen". - IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS - There are several ways for you to get in touch with us. First, there's the homepage at http://www.one.se/icing And, there's the mailbox at icing@one.se BUT, if you should be one of those unfortunate souls to lack internet connection, there are two more solutions (though they require you to be able to use a phone.) Dial Liket (Leif Claesson) at +46-31-466403, or give Dr. Gnther (Fredrik Arenhag) a ring at +46-31-184404 or +46-301-19185. If you happen to be a concerned mother, wondering what your son is up to, then don't hesitate to call. We'll be glad to straighten things out. - FRHANDSREGISTRERING / BETALNING - (fr svenskar) Varfr frbetala? Lgre pris!

Contributions should be delivered on Videotape (or, bring your hardware). 4 channel music: Maximum size 500k, and maximum length 3 minutes. All contributions will be played with Cubic Player / ProTracker The amiga protracker has a bug -- there is no such thing as no looping. The amiga loops the last two bytes of every sample whether you like it or not, which means that modules made on PC often sounds crap when played on amiga. However, the PC can play amiga modules =). Anyway, we have received quite a few complaints from amiga musicians who want their tunes played in ProTracker, so we decided to let the musicians choose. This has been made possible by pre-taping the music compo. Multichannel music: Maximum size 1mb, and maximum length is 3 minutes. All contributions will be played with Cubic Player unless you have a good reason why we should tape your tune from your computer. Graphics compo: No redraws, no scans and no raytraces! Maximum resolution 640*512, 24-bit. Raytrace compo: Maximum resolution 640*512, 24-bit. Fastintro competition: Make a demo from scratch in 10h.

For size and time limit, check the demo compo rules.
