APCiHERETIC (pronounced "ay-pee-see-eye Heretic") is a full front-end for 
Raven Software's Heretic and Hexen
 
APCiHERETIC supports the following Heretic and Hexen gaming modes: 
 
    1 - MultiPlayer Modem gaming via the APCi MultiPlayer Game Server. 
        A special chat utility enables players to chat and to change
        WAD files and settings before and between games. 
    2 - Two-player modem gaming including chat support. 
    3 - Two-player serial link gaming including chat support. 
    4 - MultiPlayer IPX gaming including chat support.
    5 - MultiPlayer IPX Heretic in VGC mode via the APCiMPGS.  This
        mode allows local IPX players to play with dialed-in players via
        the APCi MultiPlayer Game Server. 
 
APCiHERETIC allows you to keep your add-in WAD files sorted into
separate directories.  It also allows you to create APCi WAD description
files.

==========   Before attempting to play using APCiHERETIC, please read the
IMPORTANT!   online help.  It might take you a whole twenty minutes.  Many
==========   users have wasted hours of long distance time trying to play
             multiplayer games when just five minutes in the help system
             would have done just as well.  If you still have problems, read
             the file named LOCKUPS!.WHY that is included with this archive.

APCiHERETIC is merely client software.  It is NOT the software that provides 
support for multiplayer modem gaming.  Support is provided by the APCi 
MultiPlayer Game Server.  For additional information regarding the APCiMPGS,
please call the APCi BBS at (618) 628-APCi.
