+PrBoom is a modern doom game engine or "doom-port" to play idSoftware's Doom,
+Doom II, Doom expansion packs and custom "iwads" or mods (It doesn't include
+the game itself).It aims to be the most stable Doom port with the highest
+compatibility to the major Doom versions.
+
+If you don't own any of the Doom games, get the shareware doom1.wad from
+http://www.libsdl.org/projects/doom/data/doom1.wad.zip or google for it.
+Remember to rename it to lowercase: mv DOOM1.WAD doom1.wad Then copy
+doom1.wad to /usr/share/games/doom/
+
+If you have one or all of the main Doom data files from idSoftware -
+either doom.wad, doom2.wad, tnt.wad or plutonia.wad from one of the
+commercial Doom games copy them there too.
+
+Requirements: sdl (SDL_mixer, SDL_net, all included in the sdl-1.2.*
+package in slackware/l series)
+
+Highly recommended: Get the timidity.tar.gz from the SDL_mixer page
+http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/timidity/timidity.tar.gz (14M)
+and extract in /usr/lib/ for the great game music.
+
+Suggested: Take a look at the docs, man pages or visit BahdKo at
+http://www.doom2.net to learn how to watch demos, info, files, etc.
+A great help for newcomers. (You may need a proxy to visit this url)
