Spreadpoint
Spreadpoint is a demo group most fondly remembered for its coders. Buddha brought us the first texturemapped vectors and MasterSEKA, while Mnemotron brought us many improvements in the then-popular SoundTracker series. Thomas is the coder of the 'World Charts', where Autopsy/Hoodlum is editor... German coder TIP is identical to TIP/TNM, who coded the original MasterCruncher and later the first 8 channel music program, Oktalyzer.

- Belgian sysops Cocaine and Dr.Avalanche ('FLYING SAUCER', ex Adept) quickly went on to Alpha Flight (R.A.W. #5 & SLH #11). Another source said Cocaine joined Addonic, yet another said Uli was sysop of 'FLYING SAUCER' and that HE joined Alpha Flight. The information on Uli as sysop of 'F S' seem to be correct, making my confusion total. Can anyone clarify?
