Description             : This patch makes Final Doom's "The Plutonia
                         Experiment" easier.  I was really annoyed
                         when I started playing "Plutonia" and found
                         that I couldn't even beat it on the lowest
                         skill setting. I'm only an average player
                         (Doom2 on Ultra-Violence is comfortable) so
                         I'm sure I'm not the only person who had
                         trouble with The Plutonia Experiment.

                         I wanted to make a simple patch rather than
                         fine-tune every level. I gave up on The
                         Plutonia Experiment after only a few levels
                         mainly because of the Chain-Gunners (long-
                         distance snipers and ambushers who suddenly
                         pop up out of nowhere). So, is all this patch
                         does is get rid of the Chain-Gunners and
                         fix the ammo imbalance caused by the missing
                         chainguns.

                         Here's a list of the changes:
                         - changed Chain-Gunners to Shotgun Sargeants
                         - swapped chainguns and shotguns
                         - swapped bullets and shells
                         - added the chaingun back to map01
                           (otherwise you wouldn't get it until map05)
