Description             : TriO 9...
			    Bring your friends along to Camp TriO - the
			    ultimate DeathMatch retreat!  In this scenic
			    alpine setting, you'll experience terror and
			    exhilaration previously unknown!
										    
			  Features:
				* Support for DM v1/2, with 2-4 players!
				* 25 new SFX, including ALL weapons
				* New music for ALL levels
				* New graphic resources
				* Three BRILLIANT levels

			  This is the first multi-function TriO!
			  With added support for DM v1.0 and multiplayer
			  games, TriO 9 is the most versatile TriO to date.
			  TriO 9 is also the most extensively playtested
			  instalment so far - so its appeal should stretch
			  far and wide...

			  MAP01 is Point Blank #3, by Denis M”ller.  This
			  is a fast-paced level with a hint of strategy.
			  SS's will dominate, but the energy weapons can
			  prove a powerful addition.
			  
			  MAP02 is 6Skuls02 MAP 7, by Marin Gazzari.  
			  Sensational!  The level is complex yet easy
			  to navigate, and allows short-term (ie split
			  second) strategy for those who know the level
			  intimately.  Stylish and rewarding.
			  
			  MAP03 is Mancer01, by Cole Savage.  This level
			  has an excellent 'flow', due to virtually all
			  rooms having two entrances/exits.  Bigger 
			  weapons take a little more time to pick up,
			  but are usually worth the trouble.

Editor(s) used          : Ditto.

* Difficulty Settings *

Difficulty settings have been implemented, to provide support for various
modes of play:

Skill 1/2 - 3/4 player DeathMatch, using original OR altdeath rules.
	    3 player maximum is recommended, since the levels are not
	    particularly large.  Of course, 4 players would still be a
	    blast.  This skill setting contains more weapons and health
	    than the other settings.

Skill   3 - 2 player DeathMatch, using original rules.  This skill setting
	    contains very little (if any) health and other items.

Skill 4/5 - 2 player DeathMatch, using altdeath (new) rules.  This setting
	    contains more items and health than skill 3.
