Description         : Heretic Monsters for Doom 2!
	              this file converts the following monsters/sprites:
			shotgun guy	  -> the heretic
			lost soul 	  -> flying gargoyle
			imp  		  -> fire throwing ground gargoyle
			demon  		  -> golem
			revenant 	  -> flaming skull throwing golem
			hell knight 	  -> skeleton warrior
			barons of hell 	  -> skeleton warrior
			cacodemon 	  -> flying wizard w/single fire
			pain elemental	  -> flying gargoyle-summoning wizard
			mancubus 	  -> ground wizard w/spread fire
			cyberdemon 	  -> skull head
			exploding barrels -> green spore
			baby spider       -> chicken (i am evil aren't i? :)

		      NOTE:  if you are using the dehack patch included with
			     HEREDM!.ZIP, the monsters may appear and attack
			     differently than described above.

		      to install, copy these files to your doom 2 directory and
		      type:   deusf -app heremons.wad
                      the heremons.wad will then increase to 4 megs and will
		      then be useable by doom.  if you do not do this, the 
		      sprite wad will not work and will cause doom to crash.

                      this sprite patch was made with HEREDM!.ZIP in mind.  to 
		      get the full effect of dooming with true heretic-behaving
                      monsters you may want to obtain it and use the dehack 
                      patch and levels contained within.  the levels in 
                      HEREDM!.ZIP represent the entire shareware version of 
                      heretic.  the only difference now is that you aren't no 
                      wimpy wizard with girlyman magic staffs and a womanly 
                      need for inventory!  you're a space marine on a quest to
                      blow hereticdom all to hell with your arsenal of guns!

Comments                : i want it noted that i have only used material found
                          in the shareware version of heretic.  i had thought 
                          about using the reg'd version's monsters & sound fx, 
                          but it occured to me that that might be borderline
                          piracy.  anyway, this sprite patch was meant to be 
                          used with HEREDM!.ZIP which is the shareware heretic
                          levels for doom2, so the reg'd monsters and sounds 
                          weren't really needed.

                          hope you have fun :)

do what you want with it, just try to mention my name somewhere in there.  i
know what i did wasn't completely original, but it saved someone out there
the pain and time of doing it themselves, so give me some credit. :)
