Description:	This WAD file is the result of MANY SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. First I saw some "nifty" batch programs that would modify the main IWAD for the original DOOM, But I didn't like that idea. If I want to change from STARWARS to something else, I had to go in and change them all back again. So after a long and arduous search I found out how to make PWADs with sprites in them! But the WADs with sprites in them WONT convert via conventional methods. After getting quite a few requests for a DOOM ][ version, I finally went back and got it working. I had to de-compose the original PWAD into its original graphics, sounds, music, etc... Then had to re-insert them into a NEW WAD. The DOOM ][ IWAD needed to have it's sprites isolated, then joined with the sprites from the PWAD. Well, all in all, IT WAS WORTH THE FRUSTRATION.
Credits:	Special thanks goes to All the programmers of the DOOM editing software; WADMAN, WADED, DEU, DMGRAPH, DMMUSIC, DMAUD, WINTEX, and some others. Thanks also to all those that spent time working on these GFX. (I didn't create these gfx, I just consolidated them all to- gether.)
Base:	Scratch -- (used previously created gfx, from multiple authors)
Build time:	ORIGINAL DOOM WAD: 2-3 days (to get it where i wanted it!) And DOOM2.WAD 3-4 Weeks!
Editor(s) used:	WADMAN, WINTEX, DEU (I & II), WADED, DMGRAPH, DMAUD, DMMUSIC, and a few others.
Bugs:	Completely Bug Free --DISCLAIMER: although i have not found any bugs, the possibility exists.

So THIS is where those ugly ass stormtroopers in SKINS.WAD came from!! also, the pistol and machine gun graphics were frequently seen in WADs back then as well. Interesting little thing, but no SFX really seem to be there. Gets a 3 just because of how much harder things like this were to make back then.

Description             : This WAD file is the result of MANY SLEEPLESS
                          NIGHTS.  First I saw some "nifty" batch
                          programs that would modify the main IWAD for
                          the original DOOM, But I didn't like that
                          idea.  If I want to change from STARWARS to
                          something else, I had to go in and change them
                          all back again. So after a long and arduous
                          search I found out how to make PWADs with
                          sprites in them! But the WADs with sprites in
                          them WONT convert via conventional methods.
                          After getting quite a few requests for a DOOM
                          ][ version, I finally went back and got it
                          working.  I had to de-compose the original PWAD
                          into its original graphics, sounds, music,
                          etc... Then had to re-insert them into a NEW

                          from the PWAD.  Well, all in all, IT WAS WORTH
                          THE FRUSTRATION.
                          
Misc Game Info          : This is VERSION 2.0 of Star Wars Doom2. the
                          first version had a bug in it, that whenever
                          you were to see an Arch-Vile resurrect a
                          badie, the game would crash. I discovered this
                          is due to an unorthodox method of naming some
                          of the Arch-Vile's graphics in the DOOM2.WAD
                          <IWAD> So i had to manually go in, pull out
                          those gfx, stick them into a bastard DOOM.WAD,
                          then export- or re-insert them into a GFX.WAD.
                                ***This SW2.WAD is BUG FREE***
                          DOOM II WAD. This WAD is error free. It's been play
                          tested for over 20 hours. It should run fine on a
                          386 or a 486. It's been played on both.
                          However, As with all WADS, there are still a
                          possibility of errors. Let me know!
