Description             : Replaces the Icon of Sin with Bill Gates' severed head.
                          Also changes several graphics used in Map 30. In addition there
                          are three new alternate alert sounds for the Icon. This is
                          version 1.1, as I have now added the dehacked patch into bgates.wad,
                          so ZDoom users can just load the wad and ZDoom will load the patch                               automatically.

Thanks to               : Bill Gates for being such a downright git
                          Id Software for creating DooM
                          www.ihatebillgates.com for the pics of the evil geek lord himself
                          Serge Smirnov for Cleanwad
                          Olivier Montanuy for Wintex
                          Star Wars and Star Trek for inspiration for two of the voice samples.

Usage                   : Load bgates.wad and ONE of the three other wad files (640k.wad,

                          There is a copy of the dehacked patch in bgates.wad, so if you are
                          using a source port that can load dehacked patches from wads
                          (such as ZDooM) you don't need to load the DEH file.

* Construction *

Base                    : Images from www.ihatebillgates.com, modified Id graphics, some
                          original stuff (the disk drive).
Editor(s) used          : Paint Shop Pro 5, Goldwave, Wintex 4.3 and Dehacked 3.0a.
Known Bugs              : There are some graphical problems in Map30 with the new graphics,
                          but that is a symptom of the original level design.

Notes                   : The voice samples are by me. They have also been distorted.
                          They are somewhat crap, but hey, I'm no voice actor, and I only
                          had one recording of Bill Gates to base my impressions on.

                          Oh and don't get me wrong, I like Microsoft software, but
                          I hate Bill Gates, and I am very annoyed about some features
                          that aren't in Windows.
