BASE[s]: Here's the list of the maps as identified by their orginal file names

note that ALL of the maps were used with the original author's consent [email 
verifications of some OK's are availible on request], though many maps 
[the ???'s] came anonymously bundled up in public release megawads with 
incomplete author credits [heck at least I'm trying ...]; please contact me of
you can help credit their creators.

BUILD TIME: a few months to select the maps and make a change here and there,
but the physical compilation of the mapset took about an hour.
-----------------------------------
NOTES: What I like to do is "recycle" DOOM2 deathmatch maps that perhaps folks
aren't playing that much and redefine them for single player/cooperative use
by putting a spawnshooter into them. You will never run out of monsters, and I
made sure there are plenty of weapons,ammo and goodies to help you keep swingin'. 
Meant to simulate a DM/FFA experience with a DOOM2 monsters as opponents, some
of the maps DO have traditional SP oriented objectives like finding keys and
whatnot, but most are more or less straightforward slugfests in smallish maps 
that predominantly have "outdoors" or naturalistic attributes to them. Also 
please note that some of these maps have been resurrected from my previous 
ill-fated "spawnSQwad.WAD" and "spawnSQwad3.WAD" compilations that were never 
released publicly due to bugs and permission problems: rest assured that ALL 
of these levs are kosher thru and thru [no id maps, no visiplane errors, ALL 
maps used with original author consent]. Please be advised that there are 
"secret" levels in the mix, and in order to access them you MUST use the exit 
switches on the appropriate levels and not just exit by nuking Mr. Daikatana-Head. 
[though that is loads of fun .... "YOU CAN'T EXIT WITHOUT YOU'RE BUDDEY SOUPARFLY 
JOHNSONE!!!"] Your goal for each and every level is more or less the same: last as 
long as you can, then get the Hell out of there alive with the highest "KILLS %" 
ratio possible -- ENJOY!!

THANX TO: the original WAD authors for their hard work, Paul Davidson for his
wonderful MacDOOM editing utils, everybody at MQI, Scott Kevill for GameRanger 
and Quiver, Giles Williams for JQT and MacQFE, Opulent for encouragement and 
guidance, the FilePlanet and cdrom.com folks for posting my work, and idSoftware 
for making such great fucking games.

AUTHORS may use these maps as bases for new work, though I would rather have
you track down the WADs I altered and do your own re-edit from the start; ALL 
maps used in this compilation came with author consent for modifications [feel 
free to email me for further author documentation for specific levels if 
necessary]. Please do NOT place this  or ANY of my game levels on hard storage 
format media for profit - NO MONEY!!
