Description:	Two WADs. One Good (?). One Ugly... This is intended as a Tutorial to help beginner WAD builders make better WADs. SACRIFOR.WAD is a Doom II conversion of the first WAD I ever wrote, and is a good example of why you should never upload your first WAD! SACRIFCO.WAD is the same, but with more intelligent use of textures and light levels, and with all the unclosed sectors and other errors corrected.

* Construction *

Base                    : SACRIFOR.WAD  - a conversion of my unreleased
                                        first Doom I level, SACRIF.WAD.
                          SACRIFCO.WAD  - a corrected and improved version
                                        of SACRIFOR.WAD.

Editor(s) used          : Deep 7.50     - Editor used to create the original
                                        SACRIF.WAD
                          WAD1to2       - Converter used to make SACRIFOR.WAD
                          DCK 2.2       - Editor used to create SACRIFCO.WAD

Known bugs              : Lots in SACRIFOR.WAD.
                          Shouldn't be any in SACRIFCO.WAD!

Time Taken              : About 6 or 7 hours (including learning how to
                        use the editor) for the original level, plus a
                        couple of hours correcting and modifying the new
                        levels...

* Other Details *

This was my first ever WAD.  Not that that's an excuse for the sloppiness
of the original version.  I've come a hell of a long way since this.  Check
out GARDENSD (Gardens of Delight) and CygnusIV to see just how far!

Please remember, this is not meant to be a great new level by Gestalt666.
It is intended as a Tutorial, to show newcomers to Doom editing the basics
of what they should and shouldn't do.

and things to avoid...
