NOTES: This was constructed entirely from memory and I don't even
have Quake2 (I use a Mac); I just know the map from playing on my
roommate's PC, so there are countless things that are different. 
I had no map to work from. But it is by far my favorite of the id 
DM levels and have played it a lot. I believe the original map was
by Tim Wilitis, and all accolades to him for the original spacial 
designs. Unfortunately, my spaces more tha not ended up too big 
[especially in the "pit" rooms and the outer courtyard], but I 
think that the feel of the original map is still there even though 
I had to link many of the areas with teleporters due to the 
peculiarities of DOOM2's engine. Hardcore players may wish to select 
"respawn" mode so that the battle keeps raging: I put in a secret 
weapons stash room for just such purposes. All weapons present and 
accounted for. Please email me with your comments.

THANX TO: Opulent for encouragement, everyone at MacQuakeInfinity 
for putting up with my continual DOOM obsession, Ricardo Sheets 
for fronting me herb while I'm broke, Bill Morris for feeding me 
and pumping drinks down my throat, and idSoftware for giving us 
Quake, DOOM, Quake2, DOOM2, Wolfie 3D, etc etc etc

Authors may use this as a base for new levels so long as they 
give me a tip of the hat in their credits and email me a copy 
of what they come up with ... please do not distribute this or 
any of my other game levels on hard storage formats for profit.
