                        NEW LEVELS FOR DOOM

This is an entirely new episode for Doom, made up of 8 levels created
by people who love to play Doom but were getting a little tired
of the levels included with the game.  These are not necessarily the
best new levels out there (and there are a LOT of very good ones
available right now, with an average of 2 or 3 good ones being
released every day), but a few of the ones I enjoy playing.

I'll try to release a new episode about every month if time allows,
so I hope that you won't get bored with Doom and stop playing it....
there's a LOT of new adventures on the way.  These are the names of
the new levels, and the author's name, if I could find it:

	Level	Level		    Author
	Number	Name		(if available)
	--------------------------------------
	  1	TN-Cross2	Tom Neff
	  2	The Keep	Norman Scott
	  3	Zone 13		Wayne Conner
	  4	Outpost 21	Scott Amspoker
	  5	Octagon		*Unknown (but a GREAT level!)
	  6	Lewis21F	Lewis Beard
	  7	Courtyard	Michael Kelsey
	  8	Megalab		Casey Miller

Loading Instructions:   To play this episode, just run the batch file
NEWLEV.BAT.  This will load the new data into Doom and start the
game. When the notice comes up that says something like "ATTENTION:
This version of DOOM has been modified.  If you would like to get a
copy of the original game blah blah blah press enter to continue,"
just hit Enter.  Choose New Game and then select Episode 1 - Knee
Deep in the Dead.  The new episode will temporarily replace the data of
the standard episode 1.  **NOTE: This will NOT replace episode 1
permanently!  The next time you load Doom the normal way (DOOM.EXE),
everything will be exactly as it was before.  To play this new
episode, you must run the batch file NEWLEV.BAT or type in DOOM -FILE
NEWLEV.WAD to load the new data.  You can save games while playing
these new levels, but you will have to load the new episode whenever
you want to resume them, they will not work correctly with the standard
Doom levels.

Hints:    Most of these levels were created by advanced players, for
advanced players.  This means that on the harder skill levels (Hurt
Me Plenty and Ultraviolence) they will be difficult.  And there will
be quite a few secrets in these levels.  Look for things that are out
of the ordinary, such as parts of a wall that are different colors
than the rest, listen for sounds, like opening doors or lifts going
up or down; many times these secrets will not be obvious, so try
everything you can think of.  And if all else fails, don't be afraid
to use the cheat codes.  It's having fun you're worried about, not
whether or not you could finish a level without cheating.

Now go get 'em!
