                          Also, author of many a Dehacked patch file--
                          hopefully more people'll notice that someday--all
                          of which had the same sappy author info:
                                                ------
                          I exist.  And existance is good.  Unless you're
                          near the Borg.  Then existance is futile.  Or is
                          that resistance?  Hmm...
                                                ------
                          ::vomits::  Well, no more...I've done too much to
                          discredit myself with that...witness my (the?) last
                          Dehacked work with that author info anywhere in it!
                          (I'll pause and let the cheering subside.)

Description             : I hope you all have heard of D2xGold, but since you
                          probably haven't, here goes:
                          http://www.doomshack.com/doom2x
                          This site will lead you to the original versions.
                          Doom2x is a series of TCs involving Comtar of the
                          X-world, who has taken over the Icon of Sin and is
                          using that to take over the Earth.  These TCs have
                          their bad points--most stuff besides the Dehacked
                          patches are reused, a lot of the graphics/sound
                          replacements are kinda cheesy, the difficulty is
                          unfathomable--but for all the series's bad points,
                          D2xGold has at least one good point:  the
                          Technomage.  This enemy has graphics and sounds
                          reused from Hexen, but it's a completely new enemy
                          that'll stick in your mind WAY more than that other
                          mage.  (What was its name?  <g>)  This is because
                          the Dark Bishop's (oh yeah) graphics and sounds
                          fit the Technomage's evil, frustrating nature.

                          However, I know that few people know of D2xGold,
                          and few have fought with this horrible entity.  So,
                          I've created this:  the Arch-Mage.  The Archvile is
                          replaced with a mockup of the Technomage that
                          looks and sounds...vaguely like him <g> and acts
                          exactly like him.  Good levels to find Arch-Mages
                          are Levels 11 and 28; Level 23 will really show you
                          you their power but only after a romp through part
                          of the level.

                          This patch is designed to give a brief preview of
                          this horrifying enemy.  The Arch-Mage is relentless
                          and mobile, and its powers are lethal.  But this is
                          only a taste of the fear-inducing Technomage, which
                          is only one of the many new enemies of D2xGold.

--Final notes:  Chuck, if you are reading this, sorry I didn't ask permission
before I released this, but well, you tend to not respond to me...maybe it's
cause I mail you five times at once, then stop for half a year or more....
Anyway, hopefully, you'll understand that this isn't trying to rip off, but
advertise Doom2x--I even did my own code, though I referenced to yours--and
it can only help its popularity.  Doom2x Legacy awaits!

Finally--just who made this patch template!?  I'm just curious, that's all.
