Description      :
		   STRAIN DeathMatch levels are specifically
		   designed to use the STRAIN add-on for DOOM
		   II.  These levels take special advantage of
		   the tunes, textures, weapons, and
		   even baddies of STRAIN.  You
		   should be able to find STRAIN in the same
		   place you found these deathmatch levels.
		   Please visit our web site for download
		   sites.

		   This package contains one wad with
                   7 new levels and new music to be used
		   with the new baddies, new weapons, and new
		   graphics of STRAIN.

		   Designed for deathmatch play exclusively.
		   All skill levels supported.

 Play Information 
===============================================================

The STRAIN DeathMatch series consists of 7 tight DeathMatch
levels!  The first six are 'fragfest' style.  The seventh
is a 'manhunt' for those who still enjoy a good DeathMatch with
secrets, space, and an evolving landscape over time.  The
manhunt is best played with four marines.

 Where To Get This WAD 
================================================================

Please check our web site for download information:

================================================================
 Installation
================================================================

First, remember you must own DOOM II and have it installed.
Then, you must have STRAIN installed on top of DOOM II.
Check our web site for information on obtaining STRAIN if
you do not already have it.  (It is, of course, FREE.)

You need another 1 MB of disk space for STRAIN DeathMatches.
Download the file and unzip it as usual.

We assume you know how to load up DeathMatches with DOOM II add-ons.
That topic would take a while to explain.  However remember now,
instead of doom2.exe, you must get your strnhack.exe file started.
strnhack.exe must include the strain.wad file as
well as the straindm.wad file.  strain.wad is located in
your STRAIN directory wherever you installed it.

For example, suppose your STRAIN directory is c:\doom2\strain.
Further suppose you put the straindm.wad file in your STRAIN
directory.  Then you would add the deathmatches like so:

   cd <insert doom2 dir here>
   strnhack -file c:\doom2\strain\strain.wad c:\doom2\strain\straindm.wad

Of course, you'll need the special flags for DeathMatch on the
last line as well.  As far as using DWANGO or your favorite
DeathMatch front end, we'll assume you know how to do such
advanced steps.
