Description             : A five-level wad for Heretic, incorporating
                          numerous new graphics.  The appearance of
                          each level is quite different; there is no
                          unifying theme except that the action takes
                          place on a series of islands.  If I could have
                          figured out how to replace the end screens,
                          (assuming it's possible with Heretic), I would
                          have named the levels:

                          1) On the Beach
                          2) Subterranea
                          3) Skull Mountain
                          4) The Flying Dutchman
                          5) Circus Maximus

                          Three of the levels are quite large (Circus
                          Maximus is over 700K); I have been told that
                          Gulag plays "too choppy" on a 486, so the wad may
                          require a Pentium, or similar processor, for smooth
                          gameplay.

 * Play Information *

 Installation           : Gulag consists of the following files:
                          GULAG.WAD     The five levels.
                          GULAGGRF.WAD  The new graphics.
                          GULAG.BAT     A batch file to install Gulag.
                          DEUSF.BAT     An installation utility.
                          GULAG.TXT     This file.
                          Unzip GULAG.ZIP into your Heretic directory, and
                          type GULAG.  DEUSF will then merge the graphics wad
                          with your Heretic wad, GULAG.WAD will be loaded, and
                          you can play Heretic as usual, with Gulag replacing
                          the first five levels of Episode 1.  Command line
                          options may be used.  When you are finished playing,
                          DEUSF will restore your main wad to its original
                          state.  Note that you cannot play Gulag with the
                          usual -file option; it must be installed using
                          GULAG.BAT (or the equivalent).  
                          I suppose the old precaution still
                          applies:  In the unlikely event of something
                          unfortunate happening, be sure you still have your
                          original Heretic installation disk(s) around.
