                            two nasty LineDefs that I missed.
                         Desdinova for being a swell kind of guy.
                         And, of course, those guys at id.

Description             : This is a revision of my first level. For the most
                         part, the only "theme" I had in mind was to make the
                         level as aesthetically pleasing and consistent as
                         possible.  In other words, I wanted it to look neat.
                         There are lots of little nooks and crannies scattered
                         about, and (I hope) a few surprises.

                         Please let me know what you think by E-Mail at any
                         of the above addresses.

                         Enjoy. (And if you liked DANTE, check out the
                         next one in the series, CROSSING ACHERON.)

Instructions            : Put DANTE12.WAD and DANTES.BAT in your DOOM directory,
                         then run the batch file.  Hit New Game, Knee Deep,
                         and choose whatever skill you wish. (For a kinder,
                         gentler introduction that takes you right to it, run
                         the KIND.BAT.  This skips the intro stuff, chooses
                         "Hey, Not Too Rough" skill, and jumps right into the
                         level.  Modify the batch file -skill # as you please.)

Disclaimer              : I assume no responsibility for anything of any sort
                         in any way, shape, or form, now, then, henceforeward,
                         in this life (or the next several) for any screw-ups
                         or even minor inconveniences this PWAD causes you,
                         your family, your relatives, friends, ancestors,
                         associates, employers, pets, neighbors, lovers,
                         deities (major AND minor), nor any other person --
                         living, dead, or undead -- that you have or will ever
                         have any contact with in even the slightest form.
                         This PWAD has been tested and tested ad infinitum, so
                         it shouldn't mess with your computer or anything else
                         remotely associated with it.  But if it DOES, then
                         too damn bad.  Don't come cryin' to me.  It must be
                         something YOU did.

Grammar Lecture         : "a lot" is two words, not one; it's "you're," not
                         "your" -- as in "you are" unless you're (see?) using
                         the possessive in your (uh huh) text descriptions;
                         "their" indicates possession, "there" indicates
                         place or direction.**
