* Detailed Description *

The chaingun, plasma rifle, and super shotgun have been removed
from the game altogether.  The fist, chainsaw and rocket launcher
have not been altered.  The pistol, shotgun and BFG have been
replaced with an M4.  The BFG fires at a much more rapid rate
than the pistol or shotgun.

Increased damage has been simulated by decreasing the health and
mass of the monsters.  Ammo availability has been reduced.

"sopmod.wad" is the finished version with moderately increased
damaged and moderately reduced ammo.  "oldmod.wad" is identical
except for the dehacked lump.  The two dehacked lumps have been
included separately so that they can be added to Vanilla Doom.
They are not necessary if you are launching with a source port.
"oldmod.wad" greatly increases the damage factor and greatly
reduces ammo.

* Copyright / Permissions *

Authors MAY use the contents of this file as a base for
modification or reuse.  I couldn't contact Don Tello
(cwhittle@isn.net) to request permission for using his
modifications because that e-mail address is no longer valid.
Alternately, I included a copy of his original text file with
this package.

If you plan on using these sprites for something, DO NOT REMOVE BAD
KARMA'S COPYRIGHT SYMBOLS.  Even though I did modify Don Tello's
modification of the original art, he must have worked pretty hard 
getting it to look that good.  All I added was the charging handle,
selector lever and bolt release, and I modified the dark box
(ejection port?) to look more like a data plate.  The color palette
has also been neglected.  I personally prefer the dirtier brown-
tinted look ... it looks like a weapon that's been through hell.

You MAY distribute this file, provided you include this text file, with
no modifications.  You may distribute this file in any electronic
format (BBS, Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this file 
intact.
