Email Address           : Don't contact id softwares support because of
                          this patch, since it's outdated. The latest
                          official version of DooM2 is 1.9.
Description             : This upgrade patch from DooM II v1.7a to
                          v1.8 has been uploaded because of historical
                          interest to /idgames. People with deep technical
                          interest, nostalgists and collectors will like
                          this.

Other files required    : If you have DooM II v. 1.9, you need the 
                          following patches to get DooM2 v. 1.7a, that you 
                          can then change into version 1.8 (I give the 
                          filenames together with the pathnames within the
