Known Bugs              : A few small slime trails, not sure if they are engine related
                          or bad nodes build, not a big deal

===================
= Installing ROKS =
===================

Unzip ROKS.ZIP to your DOOM2 directory using directory structure.

You should have something that looks as such when complete:

C:\DOOM2\ROKS.BAT (startup file)
C:\DOOM2\ROKS\ROKS.DEH (DeHackEd patch file)
C:\DOOM2\ROKS\ROKS_MAP.WAD (map file)
C:\DOOM2\ROKS\ROKS_SND.WAD (sound and MIDI file)
C:\DOOM2\ROKS\ROKS_GFX.WAD (sprite graphics file)

There is *NO* patch work needed (like using DeHackEd or DEU), the new
source ports can do that upon startup, and patching is no longer necessary.

================
= REQUIREMENTS =
================

You MUST have DOOM2 version 1.9 for this to work.

      Upgrades to 1.9 are available at:

	http://www.idsoftware.com/archives/doomii.html

You need to have DOOM Legacy installed in your
DOOM2 directory (should be called DOOM3.EXE and DOOM3.WAD).

      It is available at:

	http://www.frag.com/doomlegacy (about 700k)

ROKS should work with BOOM and ZDOOM, but I developed ROKS
using Legacy and it's abilities. 

And lastly you need to have GOTHICTX.WAD in your DOOM2 directory.

      It is available at:

	ftp://members.aol.com:/gothicdm/gothic2/gothictx.zip (about 2 megs)

=====================
= Uninstalling ROKS =
