                         Documentation and Information


THE STORY
=========
The Demons, being really PISSED mortals have beaten them decided to take their
revenge by stopping XMAS.  So, they invade Santa's Workshop at the northpole.
It's you just to put a stop to those bastards and make sure all the good little
boys and girls can get Heretic for XMAS.

IN OTHER WORDS.. KILL EVERYTHING.


LOADING THE GAME
================
Before you can do anything you need to run the file "BUILD-XD".  This will
create a 5 meg pwad containing all of the new sprites used with XD.  Once you
have built this PWAD.  Just substitute "XMASDOOM" for the "DOOM2" when you
go to play.

If you want to play a netgame or modem game.. you need to use "XMASSER" and
"XMASIPX" respectivly.


NOTES ON MUSIC
==============
The music is from a Roland MIDI collection and really sounds best on a
wavetable card.  If you have a SB or SB16, set DMXOPTION=opl3 on.

WHY NOT!


FAMOUS QUOTES:
==============
"Oh my god.. 48 hours without sleep and I'm still coding" - SillySft
"Do you have those textures yet" - Mal
"Frag Santa" = everybody


Other neat stuff:
=================
-- Mal:  Obviously this project could benefit from more time.  We only had
         time to get three levels done and replace three monsters.  But we
         replaced a lot of textures, and some of the items.

-- Joe:  I know it's short, but when do you want in 2 weeks.  At least we
         made it.  No if I could only beat my own level.  Look for more
         Holiday DOOM coming in the next few weeks.
