Description   - You thought carnage.wad was hard, well this new one makes it
               look easy. Not only is it much harder, but it is HUGE. It is
               nine levels covering the entire Dome of D'Sparil episode. You
               will be able to finish the level without having to find any
               secrets, although some areas will seem like they are. To kill
               all the enemies (especially the Chaos Serpents), you will
               have to find all, if not most, of the secrets.
Story         - One hundred years ago a warrior stopped D'Sparil from sum-
               moning Vuradi, the powerful being which was to destroy the
               world, as an act of vengance for an earlier defeat at the
               hands of the Sidhe. But now evil is pervading the world once
               more. Could D'Sparil have returned? You journey to the canyon
               fortress only to find it decadent, deserted except for a few
               rouge gargoyles inhabiting the area. The sun is obscured by a
               thick, sinister looking fog, practically turning day into
               night. As you step onto the teleporter to enter the fortress,
               instead of entering the fortress, a section of the canyon
               lowers, revealing a dark, narrow corridor. "This is certainly
               new," you say to yourself as you make your way for what lies
               ahead...
Installation  - Simply type in ichload and it will do the rest. You only need
               to do it once. After that, just type in ichor and it will
               play the modified version. It will not touch the heretic exe,
               but instead use a different one called iheretic.exe. Just be
               certain to have all the files that were in the zip archive in
               the heretic directory.
Credits       - Doom, ROTT, Nintendo, and SquareSoft for the music
               Doom and Hexen for a couple of textures
               Hexen for a few sprites

Files in zip  - ichor.wad   : the main ewad
               deusf.exe   : the program that merges the sprites file with
                             the iwad
               ichor.hhe   : the exe patch file
               hhe.exe     : the program that modifies the heretic.exe, but
                             uses a duplicate exe file and leaves the
                             original alone
               hhe.ini     : the configuration file that hhe uses, currently
                             set for version 1.3  DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE
               ichload.bat : type ichload to load the hhe file to what will
                             be iheretic.exe
               ichor.bat   : type ichor to merge ichor.wad into the iwad

               ichor.ico   : A Windows icon

You may distribute this ewad as long as you do not change anything about it.
You might be able to use one of these levels to build your own wadfile, but I
just like to see you try. These levels push the limits of Heretic and any
additions to any of these levels will cause quite a few problems. If somehow
you do manage to be able to change or add on to the levels, do NOT distribute
the edited version.
