                        Currently doing gfx for god knows what - hopefully
			a game that will be known as Zinjanthropus. If you're

                        OUTSIDE/2, and various other small deathmatch WADs,

Level Description :     Let's see... there's a Building... and Hell...
                        oh, and the super enhanced Nuclear Warhead
                        Basically, travel thru a building, into hell, then
                        destroy civilisation + aliens / bad hell thingos
                        with the nuclear warhead.

Joy.
			
			Yeah yeah, it's only the 24th January 1999, but hey! MS don't care..
			This 2000 edition has been fairly extensively updated
			and tweaked, just on the first level though. Even though
			I have a P2/400 with a 12meg Voodoo2 card, there's just
			SOMETHING about Doom that keeps drawing me back. I guess it
			could be that for many, including myself, Doom was a way of
			life. No other games have EVER managed that in recent years.
			With the release of the DoomOpenGL beta, maybe this level
			as well as the many other superb efforts that are out there
			will get another look. Or maybe I'm just being wishful.
			Though I hope I'm not...
*!*!*!*!*!*!*
! Warning : !		Due to the size and complexity of these levels, if you
*!*!*!*!*!*!*		try to save your game, Doom will HANG. I guess that
			just makes it that little bit trickier for those lamers
			who save/die/reload again and again and again >:)
			If you want to complain, complain to iD - see if they'll
			release a patch. But that's not my problem. Because the
			source is now free.

If the level hangs your computer -- well I don't know what
			to say. Because it works fine on my computer.

IMPORTANT: 		You will need to be running a copy of Doom Legacy to use this level
			Doom Legacy is the BEST update of Doom / ][ / et al there is,
			SVGA modes, 3Dfx (albeit buggy - DO NOT USE 3Dfx for this level),
			32 player deathmatch (not supported in these levels - 16 for level
			1, & 8 for levels 2 & 3), look up/down, jump, cool water
			effect (sorry I couldn't implement any in BH :-( , many DM tweaks
			etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. - In short, it's fucking brilliant.

Preamble :-

This PWAD replaces numerous textures and also MAP01, 02 and 03. It is designed for
single player, but I've tried to make it co-op friendly as well. So eg, you can still
open the barrier that blocks you from leaving the office level by the way you came in,
from the outside. But it will close once you're in. To get back inside.. well, I can't
remember that much ;) -- for co-op play in Medium or Hard modes.

DEATHMATCH IS supported - "How!" you scream. Well, if you examine the map with any decent
editors (I used DETH, BSP and RMB (using -perfect) to build these levels) you'll notice
that in EASY, MULTIPLAYER mode, barrels of fire appear as do heaps of weapons, health, and
ammo. So if you want deathmatch, you will be penned into a certain area by barrels,
this should make it playable. Just remember - SKILL 1. To exit, it is a mutual operation.
There are marked switches on each level, and marked exits. One goes to the switch, the other
to the exit. One pulls the switch and the exit is revealed. Then the other can exit the
level.

The music is taken from sites that are believed to be FREE.
This PWAD has taken a total of well over 100 hours to make and tweak so far. So it is
very good. Yes, I really am a perfectionist ;) It was built from scratch and is entirely
my work and design. So I guess you can say it is (c) 1995-99. There.

Just think of all the substitute teachers I had to convince that the maps I was scrawling
on paper during class, that the maps I used to work these levels from, were actually for
the subject "Graphics" (Which is of course, Graphic Communication. Which I love. But Doom
is not Graphics. Obviously.). Suckers.

You CAN'T... repeat... CAN'T re-distrib any modified versions. Sure, feck it
up completely on your own system, but just don't copy it. Easy.
You may not take ANY credit for anything you steal from this PWAD. Nyer. If you wish to
reuse any art, ASK ME FIRST. YOU DO **N O T** HAVE PERMISSION OTHERWISE!!!

You must include all the four files in any redistribution. That is, this file, the two
KK-BDESC's and the >unmodified< PWAD itself.

You can stick this >unmodified< ZIP file on a CD if u like.
You can upload it to ftp sites - I've already put it on FTP.CDROM.COM and thus
all the mirrors associated. So don't waste their time uploading it again. Thx.
You can distribute it on your website.
Or anything really. You could print it out in binary and scan it back in and see
whether you could use OCR accurately with non-standard characters, although I guess
that would fail because some ASCii characters are white, including the spacebar.
But you CAN'T CHARGE MONEY FOR IT!!!

If you should review this PWAD, >PLEASE<, drop me a line. I'd love to know what you
think. Or just send me some email! Yeah! What a REVELATION!

Well, that's just about it. Need help then email me.
Couldn't be *stuffed* making a quake version. Woo. Brown. Or a Duke version.
Woo. The editor's just crashed again. Or an Unreal version. Coz I can't get
the editor to work. Damn it. :(

That's just about it from me. I'm tired. I have to work. Goodbye.

I'm working on a Quake2 update of A1-SNiPE... as of Dec 1998. I've already done the outside
northern part. The south, the tunnels, and the main connecting river are to be implemented.
