                       PLEEEEAZE Email me if you liked this Wad, I put
                       soooo much work into it.
			  
                       Also, PLEEEAZE don't cheat unless your desperately
                       stuck.
                       A lot of time and thought has gone into the design and
		       puzzles of this level and I've weeded out 99% of level
                       bugs.
		       If you're stuck, you probably haven't looked hard enough
                       for that elusive switch or door, keep trying!		

                       Anyone who has made Large wads will absolutely hate
                       this message:-
                       
                       'Savegame Buffer Overrun!' <-- AAARRRGHHH!!!! Go away!

                       This level initially started out as a single MAP but
                       rapidly became so large that the Heretic Engine
                       couldn't handle it and bombed out to DOS with the
                       aforementioned error!!

                       So I had to split it into two levels.
                       Then guess what?

                       I got carried away again and had to split it into
                       three levels!!!
                       But these 3 levels are so big and complex that they're
                       probably almost equivalent to a complete episode!

                       I might upload a complete walkthrough .lmp demo at some
                       point.

                       I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that anyone (besides me) can complete
                       this mini-episode (3 levels) WITHOUT cheating AT ALL.
                       You can accept that as a Challenge!
		       
		       Ammo is initially quite limited, so use wisely.
		       You'll also need ur brain for this level!
                       If you're not proficient at using the side step keys,
                       don't even bother trying to get far on this level!


		       To run the game copy Lhet400.wad into your Heretic directory
                       and type:-
		
		       heretic -file lhet400.wad

* Construction *

Base                  : Started from scratch

Build-time            : Don't ask! 
                        Well, put it this way, I was 22 when I started
                        and 24 when it was finished!!!

Editor(s) used        : Almost exclusively DCK2.2, Ted, Win/Deutex.

Known Bugs            : As I said above, there were some major
                        'bombing out to Dos' bugs, (well they're not so much
                        bugs as they are restrictions of the Doom Engine!)
                        but I've tracked them down, I think there's
                        still one on level 2 by the Large Red Crucifix, so
                        save the game if you're in that area!

                        Theres also some visualization bugs on level 2 cos
                        the engine is having difficulty displaying so many
                        linedefs at once, however the game shouldn't bomb out
                        here, I've tested it, the graphics just go a little
			haywire temporarily.
