Description             : I was finishing the single player section of the
                         first level of Paradox, wondering what I should do
                         for the DM section, when I suddenly realised that,
                         with a few modifications, the single player section
                         would make an excellent DM level.  So here it is.

                         If you don't like cramped, narrow passages in your
                         DM levels, you probably won't like this.  Some of
                         us do though. . .

                         Difficulty settings change the weapons :
                         Skill 1 : Double ammo, no Plasma or BFG
                         Skill 2 : Normal ammo, no Plasma or BFG
                         Skill 3 : Set up for -Altdeath (respawning stuff)
                         Skill 4 : Normal ammo, all weapons
                         Skill 5 : Double ammo, all weapons

Misc Author info        : Co-ordinator of the Paradox TC project.
                         Contributor to the Gothic DeathMatches 2 project
                         Contributor to the Darkening episode 1 : The
                         Nameless project.  For info on all of these, see
                         the the bottom of this file.

Other files by author   : As well as the projects above, I've the author of a
                         6 level DeathMatch WAD called Realms of Pain, which
                         can be found in the same place as you got this ;)

Additional Credits to   : The Gothic DM 2 crew, the Darkening crew and (of
                         course) the Paradox guys for ideas for levels and
                         textures, and in some cases improving my skills :)
