Description            : After a weekend of R&R, you return to your base to 
			find your unit has not returned from routine 
			maneuvers on Mars. Upon checking in with your CO, you 
			find him a changed person. He only mumbles, "Despair, 
			Despair, Why did it have to be Despair." Your 
			comrades had been sent to pay a routine visit to 
			OCP's genetics and physics lab knicknamed "Despair" 
			because of its remote location Grabbing your sidearm, 
			you head for the hanger to begin your search for the 
			fate of your comrades.

			This is my first complete level, so please bear this 
			in mind. Please E-Mail me with your comments on 
			Compuserve.

			Colin Reed for the BSP utility

			and of course, those great people at id, without 
			which we would not have the pleasure to play DOOM.

			their help and inspirations.

Instructions          : Put DESPAIR.WAD and DESPAIR.BAT in your DOOM 
			directory, then run the batch file.  This takes you 
			right into it, skipping the intro stuff, chooses 
			"Hey, Not Too Rough" skill, and jumps right into the 
			level.  Modify the batch file with -skill # as you 
			please. Otherwise, choose New Game, Shores of Hell, 
			and the skill level you prefer and play thru as 
			normal.

			in any way, shape, or form, now, then, henceforeward 
			for any problems or even minor inconveniences this 
			PWAD causes you or anyone else. This PWAD has been 
			tested ad infinitum, so it should not mess with your 
			computer or anything else remotely associated with 
			it. If you have problems with this PWAD, please don't 
			use it.
