Author:	Josh Straub
Description:	This is a concatenation of some of the Best dm wads, and i have tested a LOT (i'd say about 500). These are all smaller ones for CONSTANT ACTION small enough for 2 player, but not cramped for 4 player. I just hate playing a collection and coming to these humongus levels where it takes hours to find each other. You wont find any large-marge type ones in here. There arent any super secret hiding spots (well, ok there is ONE ;) that usually wreck the game, as i hate those. There are some great new sounds and about half of the songs are replaced. The only ones without new songs are the ones with decent doom2.wad music. The sounds were put in for change of pace, and some humor (you'll see when you pick up a sphere :)
Credits:	Well i goose i have to name James Knight (Big-Red), and Jeff Gonyo (David Walker/Black Death), cuz they did play a lot of doom with me and we went through a lot of wads. Also, Keith Lipski (Frances Farmer) and Jimmy Mohr (Funky J), because they starred (hehe) in the demo. Plus, Ben Morris for writing DCK, but i wish he'd fix the crashing. The danzig writers for inspiring me to edit wads, and the other writers of the wads i used. And of course, id.
Base:	Concatenated wads (see list below), i also included their .txt files to sorta compensate for stealing their wads :D It's called THEIRTXT.ZIP (delete it right away if you want, theres nothing you haven't seen already)
Build time:
Editor(s) used:	DCK 2.2 for it's nice Wad Utilities, Easywad11 for managing my large wad collection
Bugs:	None! woo hoo! I tested this with many games, including an awesome 4 player game and i havent found any.

Some classic DM maps here - Check the text file for the original sources. Great for 4 players, and map01 is probably the weakest of the bunch - that said, it still looks fun for duels!

                          really great demo, although i must say we did
                          setup that gut shot by me in the beginning

                           Zmanpak explanation
The Zmanpak works like this:  Zmanpak1 is the main one, with new 
sounds and graphics. It is 1/4 of 30, 7 levels. I will come out with 
Zmanpak2 through 4. Each one will have a few things the others didnt
have, so you can be really cool and use all 4 of them at once for a 
32 level super conversion. For example, i will put in a new sky in a 
later Zmanpak, so when you use them all together, the new sky will be 
in all levels. Levels 31,32 in zmanpak4 will be different from the 
rest, but you'll have to wait until i get some more good wads to use 
for a Zmanpak. Look for Zmanpak*.zip at the listed locations!!

Thank you for using Zmanpak (and for reading this file, i know it is 
long but it took me like 2 hours to write, after looking at the files 
again to find out where i got my stuff :)
