                          for deathmatch play. These same levels are

                          version of PLETH5.WAD, and should serve as

COPYRIGHTS and PERMISSIONS:

These levels are a spawn from another universe. Well, not quite. If it
really turns you on, you can screw around with my levels. However, if you
decide to create an anthology of levels, make sure to include these.
