Title                   : Stairway to Hell (for Doom ][)

			  (I can also be reached on the Doom Fidonet echo.)
Misc. Author Info       : This is NOT my first WAD, just to reassure you.
			  My first WAD was an unadulterated piece of crap,
			  using WinDEU before I had any real understanding of
			  Doom levels. This is my second, and I used DCK
			  instead...
Description             : A simple WAD meant as a game-ender. Starts off
			  in a cavern, fairly standard until the end, in
			  which you climb down the Stairway. At the bottom
			  of said Stairway, the imfamous Romero's Head
			  is busy spitting out monsters. However, as you can
			  go right next to the Head and blast it, it isn't
			  difficult to kill. The hard part is GETTING to it.
Additional Credits to   : id software, of course.
			  The guys who made BSP and DCK.
			  Led Zepplin.

 * Misc. Notes *

The inspiration for this level was this: a few years ago, a fundimentalist
minister had claimed that when "Stairway to Heaven", by Led Zepplin, was 
played backwards, he could hear Satanic messages. Of course, this was total
bunk, but it got me to thinking... just what is the opposite of the Stairway
to Heaven? The one to Hell, of course... I would have used a MIDI editor to
make the MIDI of the song to play backwards, but I thought that was going 
just a TAD too far... 

* Copyright / Permissions *

You may NOT use this level as a base for other levels UNLESS you give me
 credit. So I'm an egomaniac... <g>

You MAY distribute this on the following conditions:
 - it is unmodified or is a new level based on the preceding;
 - no fee is charged for its distribution, unless it is on a collection
   of WADs on a disk or CD-ROM, in which case I would like a copy of
   said disk or CD-ROM.
