   PACKAGE INFORMATION :

                         http://edge.sourceforge.net
                         (it should run fine with EDGE 1.25 (unreleased as of now))
     WILL NOT RUN WITH : DOOM.EXE, DOOM2.EXE, or any other source port

-------------------------
      GAME INFORMATION :
-------------------------

                  MAPS : map01
         SINGLE PLAYER : Yes
COOPERATIVE 2-8 PLAYER : No

             NEW MUSIC : Yes (high quality MP3, written by me)
          NEW GRAPHICS : Yes (titlepic and main menu top)
          NEW TEXTURES : Yes
             NEW DEMOS : No

-------------------------
           SETUP NOTES :
-------------------------

                         Unzip RUINS.ZIP to your DOOM2 directory, open a DOS prompt in
                         the same directory, and type: ruins

                         EDGE 1.25 will have MP3 support, EDGE 1.24 does not.

                         However, you can load an MP3 player, like Winamp, play RUINS.MP3
                         in a loop, then run RUINS. Most PCI sound cards (like a Sound
                         Blaster Live! sound card) can handle the resource sharing.
