Additional Credits to   : All the authours for the Utilites which made
                          this megawad possible. ID software of course
                          for allowing all us authors and others to create
                          addon levels for their games over the past 10
                          years. And myself for making sure this great
                          megawad would be completed and not go dead like
                          some other megawads such as Doom Millennium?.
                          Also credit goes to members who signed in and
                          gave it a try but couldnt get any ideas going.

Changes in V3 (1 Aug 04): MAPINFO bugs fixed. You can now complete any 
			  episode using ZDOOM, LEGACY, etc.
			: Improved texture alignment in E4M6
			: Improved music if using the Yamaha SXG50 
			  driver and playing using ZDOOM.
			: Plasma gun added to E2M6 and textures aligned.
			: E5M1 improvents, more ammo added, but still 
			  sparse so take care.

Demos Replaced          : ALL - All recorded with Doom v1.9.

* Construction *

Base                    : New levels from scratch
Editor(s) used          : Various
                  
* Known Bugs *

If the game crashes using Doom v1.9. Here are some possible solutions
it is recomended that you use a source port to play this megawad.
See the Requirements section below.

E4M9 Items dissapering  : A source port will display this level properly.

Savegame bug		: If you play using the old Doom.exe V1.9
			  and try to save a game and it crashes
			  with "Savegame buffer overrun" or the screen 
		          messes up. That means the level is too big 
	                  to save in. This occurs on some of the big 
			  levels such as E2M7, E3M7 and E4M6.

Visplane error (VPO)	: This is a limit in the original Doom v1.9 (DOS version).
No more visplanes         The game crashes in very detailed areas.
Visplane overflow         It is recomended that you use a source port
			  such as BOOM or ZDOOM to prevent this from
			  occuring. See Requirements below. The chances
			  of getting a VPO is hard. But in levels like
                          E4M5, E4M6, E2M7, E3M5, E1M8 where there is lots of detail
			  you are at risk!.           

* Who did which level? *

Paul Corfiatis          : E1M1, E1M3, E1M5, E1M7, E1M9
                          E2M1, E2M4, E2M5, E2M7 (w Kristian)
                          E2M8, E2M9, E3M2, E3M7, E3M8, E4M1
                          E4M8, E4M9, E5M1, Music and GFX work.
Chris Hansen            : E2M2, E3M6, E4M3, E4M4, E4M5, E4M7
Kristian Aro            : E1M2, E1M4, E1M6, E1M8, E2M7 (w Paul)
Rory Habich             : E2M3, E2M6, E3M3, E3M4
Sam Woodman             : E3M1, E3M9
Virgil, The Doom poet   : E3M5
Anthony Soto            : E4M2
Joseph Pallai           : E4M6, Some of the new Textures
                          (borrowed from some other wad).

* Requirements *

Hard drive Space        : 20 megs, the wad is just over 11 megs. But this
                          shouldnt be a problem because most computers
                          have thousands of megs free space.

Minimum                 : Doom v1.9 on a 486 with fast video card
                          but due to the detail in some of the levels
                          you are at risk of a Visplane releated crash.
                          If you use Doom95, the Visplane limit seems
                          to be bigger and there is less chance of a crash. 

Recomended              : Any limited source port. that could be Boom, Zdoom
			  Doom legacy, and whatever.
