Title                   : Quake 2 skys  (Ultimate DooM version)
Filename                : Q2SKY*.WAD    (* is a number from 1-8)
Author                  : Stephen Clark (The Ultimate DooMer!)
Email Address		: theultimatedoomer@hotmail.com

Other WADs by me	: None at the time of creation.
			  
			  Fragport (FRAGPORT.WAD)
			  Operation: Lightning (OP-LITE2.WAD)
			  Fragbar (FRAGBAR1.WAD, FRAGBAR2.WAD) at the time of release.

Completion Date         : Sometime in June 1999

Release Date		: 28th February 2002

Misc. Author Info       : A hardcore DooMer who loves all it's similar
			  games (esp. Quake 2 and Half-Life) but still
			  thinks DooM is best.

Description             : Eight 360-degree skys, made from Quake 2 screenshots.
			  (3 from Quake 2, 3 from The Reckoning and 2 from Ground Zero)

			  Despite the limits of the DooM engine (256x128 pixels,
			  256 colour palette) they turned out very well (which is more
			  that can be said for Unreal) and look pretty good, especially 
			  in modern/hi-tech levels.  (although some of them look good 
			  in other styles too)

Additional Credits to   : id for creating such a brilliant game (Quake 2)
			  and the author of nitesky.wad (which introduced me to 1024x128 skys)
			  Also to anyone else who still plays and loves DooM as, 
			  even in the 21st century, it's still the BEST game ever!
