Description             : This patch downgrades a Doom II -version 1.9,
                         down to v. 1.666.
                         That version can then be upgraded to v. 1.7a
                         by using the official upgrade patch. The doom2-
                         version, that has been used as a base for this
                         downgrade, had the timestamp 29. August 1994
                         ( 8-29-94 ), so you have to use the upgrade for
                         that 'sub-version'.
                         What you win by using this patch is the ability
                         to use demo-lmps and dehacked-patches, that have
                         been made for pre-1.9-versions of doom2.
                         To install just extract the content of the
                         zip-file into your doom2-folder and run the
                         batch-file '19to1666.bat'. Wait patiently until
                         the process is done. Ignore the 'batch-file-not
                         -found'-message. Run setup.exe and play the game.
                         The upgrade from 1.666 to 1.7 can be found here:
          ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/pc/games/idgames/idstuff/doom2/doom2p.zip
          ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/pc/games/idgames/idstuff/doom2/doom2p.txt
                         (You have to run PATCHA.BAT)
                         If ftp.sunet.se disappears from the online world,
                         replace the part:
                         'ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/pc/games/idgames/' in the
                         above URL with any mirror of
                         archives.3dgamers.com. You can find a list of
                         current mirrors at the end of this file.
                         By the way: This patch is for the DOS-version of
                         DooM II, not DooM95. The installation of the DOS-
                         version is started with INSTALL.BAT, somewhere on
                         your DooM2-CD.

Additional Credits to   : Lee Killough, for making the downgrade patch for
                                       Ultimate DooM (downgrd.zip)
                         ebay, where i found somebody, who sold me the old
                               floppy version.

*Thank you* to          : Ty Halderman, /idgames-maintainer, for his
                         patience with me, because i'm a re-upper from
                         hell!
