   NOTE: YOU NEED BOOM TO PLAY THIS ADDON, SINCE CERTAIN AREAS IN THIS
   MAP WILL CAUSE HOMs & VISPLANE OVERFLOWS WITH THE NORMAL DOOM2.EXE
   ALSO, YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED BOOM BECAUSE I HAVE IMPLEMENTED A FEW
   SPECIAL EFFECTS THAT ONLY BOOM HAS...  (In theory, any boom-compatible
   port should do, like MBF, etc.  I, however, HIGHLY recommend using BOOM.)
   SO DON'T COME COMPLAINING THAT IT DOESN'T WORK IF YOU PLAY IT WITH
   ANYTHING ELSE BUT BOOM.

Description     : A Final DOOM type level.  Should pose a very decent
                  challenge on UV.
Story:          : You are in an abandoned base floating somewhere in Hell's
                  sky. Luckily, your suit protects you from radioactive
                  materials so that you can wade through toxic waste without
                  sustaining damage. Go kill all the monsters and get the
                  hell outta the creepy place.  Oh, and make sure to look
                  around at the architecture and layout in between the
                  slaughter fests =).

Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : Yes.  Skill 5 old deathmatch with
                          the -nomonsters parameter.  (Have fun blasting your
                          friends into the water pools and slime pits =).)
Difficulty Settings     : Yes.  Save at least every time after you get a key
                          to avoid frustration.  Don't save TOO often,
                          though.

New Sounds              : No.
New Graphics            : Yes.  Cut and pasted stuff from Final Doom's

                          Oh, and also a sky from doom's fourth episode
                          ("Thy Flesh Consumed") and some new flats.

Loading Procedure       : Unzip the zip file (ash2ash.zip) into a directory
                          that has the BOOM engine and the DOOM2 wad file
                          (doom2.wad) Then run the batch file (ash2ash.bat).
                          Or, add the wad file on yourself when starting up
                          BOOM.
