* Play Information *

Level #                 : This is v1.0 effecting MAP01 thru MAP05.
                          This PWAD should run on DOOM ][ versions
                          1.2 thru 1.9.

Play notes:           These levels will not be very good on anything
                      less than a 486/66 w/ a LB video card.
                      To play ACCURSED, the install partition must have
                      3.5 meg free in order to unpack the ACCURSED.ZIP
                      archive and then an additional 4.5 meg free
                      to install the sprites.  If this is true, then
                      proceed as follows:

                      Unzip the ACCURSED.ZIP archive so that its
                      contents reside in the same directory as
                      your DOOM2 binaries then run the DOS program
                      ACCURSED to install the sprites and/or run the
                      game afterwards.  If this is not desirable
                      or practical, then issue the following DOS
                      command: DEUSF -SPRITES -ADD ASPRITES.WAD ACCUR_FX.WAD
                      to install the sprites, and then:
                      DOOM2 -FILE ACCUR_FX.WAD ACCURSED.WAD thereafter.

                      The ACCURSED.ZIP archive should contain the following:

                         Filename:      Description:
                         ---------      ------------
                      1) ACCURSED.WAD   level data.
                      2) ASPRITES.WAD   sprites data.
                      3) ACCURSED.TXT   ftp.cdrom.com required file.
                      4) ACCURSED.EXE   utility to install/run The ACCURSED.
                      5) ACCURSED.C     MSC source file.
                      6) DEUSF.EXE      utility to merge sprites.
