                          (sorry, but due to New Zealand's policy
                          of charging for internet traffic by the
                          kilobyte, I've had to disable internat-
                          ional access.  If someone would like
                          to offer to house me outside of NZ, I'd
                          be extremely grateful ... :-)

Demos Replaced          : Would I waste bandwidth like that?

Notes:

*   This level concludes with a cunning multiplayer exit.
    One player must flick a switch in the northeast corner,
    another (in chicken mode) must go through the door which
    is opened in the narrow tunnel between branches of the 
    river flowing from the temple.

**  Difficulties 1 and 2 are the same.  Level 4 is intended 
    for four players, having more ammunition and monsters.
    Levels 1-2 are intended for play with monsters respawing
    so that the kills last LONGER!

***Lots!  From Star Trek, Star Wars, Forrest Gump, Animaniacs,
   Doom itself (didn't the orignal Elven wand sound wimpy?),
   Terminator, Warner Brothers cartoons etc etc ...
