REQUIREMENTS

F1GP should work on any Amiga, running under any Kickstart version or
Workbench and with any amount of free memory that exceeds about 300k. It can be
run from both floppy and harddisk, from the Shell or the Workbench.

Sadly enough the intferace and parsing routines took a lot of memory. AMOS
also isn't very memory efficient by nature. To circumvent the lame multi-
tasking AMOS uses, F1GP-RES manually sets its priority to -100. solving the
general slowdown common to AMOS programs.
HOWEVER: this will only work when F1GP-RES is run from the CLI/SHELL, such
that the process name actually is F1GP-RES. Using Opus to run F1GP-RES, for
example, is possible, but the multitasking will be abnormal again...

Running F1GP-RES while playing F1GP along with some editors, patches or
other utilities is only an option for those who have _over_ 2Mb of memory
installed in their Amiga's...

Speed can also be a problem at times, especially when parsing large HoF
file. None of that all is unbearable though. and V2.0 has had a serious
makeover, resulting in a tenfold speed increase for parsing routines!

A last minor problem is the fact that F1GP-RES only runs on a standard
PAL screen, that cannot be promoted to anything else. So you'll need 
a monitor that can handle it. Not very much of a problem when you consider
that F1GP itself suffers from the same problem...
