Description             :  There I was, sitting at my computer, blasting away 
                           at some demons in a DOOM ][ pwad I got from this  
                           BBS. I was thinking, I wish I could make my own 
                           Pwad, but I just don't have the skill and/or 
                           imagination to do it. Then it hit me. I would  
                           do what so many other red-blooded americans have
                           done. I have something far greater than skill    
                           or imagination, I have total disregard for others.
                           I would rip-off, I mean "translate" somebody 
                           else's level. Now, I thought, whose level should
                           I translate? Someone who wouldn't, or couldn't   
                           track me down and bludgeon me to death. Raven 
                           Software was the obvious answer. They won't give a 
                           darn what I do and they aren't in my area. Thus 
                           began my noble quest to translate a level for 
                           Heretic to a level for Doom ][.

                           I did my best to preserve the level's integrity.
                           all the textures, floors, and ceilings are as
                           accurately matched as I could make them. I could
                           not make a current in the water, though. The 
                           enemies were translated as well as possible. 
                           Mummies became Demons, Gargoyles became Lost 
                           Souls, and those Skeleton Knights became Hell
                           Knights. I also used DeHackEd 2.2 to alter the
                           enemies. Demons were slowed down to Mummy speed
                           and strength. The same for Lost Souls and Hell
                           Knights. The elvenwand is now the pistol, the
                           ethereal crossbow is now the shotgun, and the
                           dragon claw (multiplayer) is now the chaingun.
                           Included is DeHackEd 2.2 shareware and the 
                           HEREDOOM wad itself.
