Description             : In the ruins of Deimos base, the mop-up
                         crew found plans for a ship that will
                         cross the void between the galaxies. This
                         ship will enable the Hell-Spawn to spread
                         their evil across the entire universe! The
                         engineers at UAC have been able to beef up
                         a teleporter enough to send ONE marine into
                         the ship, which is currently cruising the
                         local galactic cluster. They can't bring him
                         back, but it is believed there is an exit
                         teleporter on the ship. Your mission is to
                         neutralize (with extreme prejudice) the
                         crew and get out alive!

Version info: Requires DOOM 1 ver 1.666 or above.

             Version 1.4 (final?) Changed to E1M1 to make it play easier.
                         Added a mus file. Noticed it had disappeared
                         from ftp.cdrom.com, so reuploaded. Changed the
                         sites list because I don't know where it is anymore!

             Version 1.3 (final, I hope!) changed a few small things
                         for playability after reading lots of email.

             Version 1.2 updated this text to reflect new sites, and
                         added a little more colorful end screen.

             Version 1.1. New and Improved! I Fixed a VISPLANES
                          OVFLOW bug. You probably wouldn't have seen it.
                          Everything had to be just right. I changed the
                          setup in the first room so that the doors to the
                          'spokes' ALWAYS open in the correct sequence
                          (I want you to see everything!).

                          I made the SKY texture non-repeating, and threw
                          in a couple more galaxies. I also changed the
                          'eyeball' texture to a new texture rather than a
                          redefined old one. This is because of a report I
                          got that the eyeball showed up on the harder
                          difficulty levels, but MIDGRATE showed on the easy
                          ones! If anyone knows how this is possible, drop me
                          a line.

                          Enjoy folks!

Authors MAY use this level as a base to build additional levels.
However, due credit should be given in the .TXT file accompanying
the WAD. Especially if you rip off any textures.

WARNING: This is a complicated WAD, with a lot of 'tweaking'
to make it run right. My reject options file for RMB is about 7K of
blocks, blinds, etc. When you change ANYTHING in this WAD, the results
are unpredictable.

If you change the wad's level, the sky and end screen title might
be wrong unless you change them as well.

Be forewarned! (Also, please change the name if you change the wad.)

You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file, with
any new sites added to the list below and no other modifications.
You may distribute this file in any electronic format (BBS, Diskette,
CD, etc) as long as you include this file intact. However, if you
include the WAD on CD or floppy disk, you may not make _any_ kind of
money from the sale of the product, unless you notify me and send me
a free copy. Note that this includes the so-called copying charges of
shareware vendors.
