Description   - You thought carnage.wad was hard, well this new one makes it
                look easy. Not only is it much harder, but it is HUGE. It is
                nine levels covering the entire Dome of D'Sparil episode. You
                will be able to finish the level without having to find any
                secrets, although some areas will seem like they are. To kill
                all the enemies (especially the Chaos Serpents), you will
                have to find all, if not most, of the secrets.               
Story         - One hundred years ago a warrior stopped D'Sparil from sum-
                moning Vuradi, the powerful being which was to destroy the
                world, as an act of vengance for an earlier defeat at the
                hands of the Sidhe. But now evil is pervading the world once
                more. Could D'Sparil have returned? You journey to the canyon
                fortress only to find it decadent, deserted except for a few
                rouge gargoyles inhabiting the area. The sun is obscured by a
                thick, sinister looking fog, practically turning day into
                night. As you step onto the teleporter to enter the fortress,
                instead of entering the fortress, a section of the canyon
                lowers, revealing a dark, narrow corridor. "This is certainly
                new," you say to yourself as you make your way for what lies
                ahead...
Installation  - Simply type in ichload and it will do the rest. You only need
                to do it once. After that, just type in ichor and it will
                play the modified version. It will not touch the heretic exe,
                but instead use a different one called iheretic.exe. Just be
                certain to have all the files that were in the zip archive in
                the heretic directory.
Credits       - Doom, ROTT, Nintendo, and SquareSoft for the music
                Doom and Hexen for a couple of textures
                Hexen for a few sprites

                ichor.hhe   : the exe patch file
                hhe.exe     : the program that modifies the heretic.exe, but
                              uses a duplicate exe file and leaves the
                              original alone
                hhe.ini     : the configuration file that hhe uses, currently

                ichload.bat : type ichload to load the hhe file to what will
                              be iheretic.exe
                ichor.bat   : type ichor to merge ichor.wad into the iwad
                ichor.txt   : the text file you are reading now
                ichor.ico   : A Windows icon
                                
You may distribute this ewad as long as you do not change anything about it.
You might be able to use one of these levels to build your own wadfile, but I
just like to see you try. These levels push the limits of Heretic and any
additions to any of these levels will cause quite a few problems. If somehow
you do manage to be able to change or add on to the levels, do NOT distribute
the edited version.
