What is the difference between a demo and an intro?

0

Today, an intro is usually limited to one executable 64kb (65536 bytes) file, while there is no such restriction for demos. Of course demoparty organisers DO set a filesize limit for them as well, currently between 10 and 20mb. Final versions or windows ports of older ms-dos intros might be bigger than 64kb. The term ‘intro’ is historically determined by the early crack-intro(duction)s (see [2.3.] for a bit more about them…) and does not imply a _specific_ filesize limit. Other common intro categories are 4kb (4096 bytes) and 256byte.
