*******************************************************************

* 4. INSTALLATION *

	So you want to play this thing, eh?
	
	Simple, just unzip all the files into your DOOM II directory.
	The following files will be then placed into your DOOM II 
	directory: ffi_Z.wad, ffi.txt_Z, ffi_Z.bex and ffi_Z.bat
	
	After then, just click on the ffi_Z.bat icon, and off you go!

*******************************************************************

* 5. TROUBLESHOOTING *

	Because this is only a single WAD, everything should work just fine,
        but if for some strange reason you can't get FFi to work properly
	here's a few things that might help:

          A. Be sure that all of the FragFest's files are in the DOOM II directory.
          B. Don't try to run this WAD with Doom2.exe or Doom.exe, use ZDoom instead 
             or any other port that supports the ZDoom features.
          C. Check that you have the latest version of ZDoom in your DOOM II directory.
        
	If FragFest still doesn't work, just contact us (parallel@doomworld.com) 
	and remember to say that you're playing FragFest Initialized and it's being 
	played with ZDoom. If you're using any other source port try to run FFi with ZDoom.

*******************************************************************

* 8. RERELEASE INFORMATION *

	This is a simple re-release of FFI_Z that fixes three different things:
	   - You can now no longer rocket jump over the mountains, making
	     yourself highly inaccessible.
	   - Unused sectors and linedefs have been removed.
	   - The orientation of one deathmatch start on MAP07 to prevent people
	     from running into deep nukage immediately after they spawn.
