*****************************************************************************
        Intro
*****************************************************************************
        Welcome to Omen!  You have downloaded a dark mysterious world of
        black magik and satanic offerings, loaded with over ten new levels,
        ten new weapons including spells, and ton's of new monsters and
        enemies.  Omen has many elements from RPG type games, such as the
        aforementioned spells, experience building, and of course the dark
        medieval theme common to so many of them.  We like to think of Omen
        as a cross between a fighting game and an RPG, all brought together
        by the glorious Quake engine!  


*****************************************************************************
        Installation
*****************************************************************************

        This is easy.  Just make a directory under your Quake directory
        called 'omen'.  Copy the omendemo.zip file into that directory, and
        type pkunzip -d omendemo.  *Do NOT use winzip* - that program sucks
        and will cause errors.  Then just type quake -game omen, and your
        all set.

        Contents
*****************************************************************************

        You should have a big zip file, with lots and lots of little files.

        O.k., if you find any bugs not listed below, please report them to
        me or Dave Wallin, or if you have any comments or suggestions, please
        let us know.  We can't put everything in that people want, but

        Known Bugs
*****************************************************************************

        Here are the bugs I am aware of:


        1.  Sometimes when a Drax dies, you get an error like invalid frame.

        2.  In some of the larger levels, you may be able to get in certain
            areas of the map, and turn only to have the sky turn gray - we
            can't fix this, this is a limitation of Quake, that occurs in
            levels with a lot of detail.  Also, Omen is not optimized for
            GLQuake, though some levels do work o.k.  Most are too large and
            open for GLQuake to work properly, and some are not fully vised,
            because none of us owns a Cray....

        fate of Alien Quake, hope to work with you again soon buddy!  Look
        forward to your maps for the next release.

        Omen is an ongoing project...we will continue to add features, such as
        character classes, more spells and enemies, and we would imagine the next
        release will be another major step....

        Read this carefully.  We have had legal problems in the past and do
        not want any in the future.  I'm gonna keep it in terms you can
        easily understand.

        Omen, is copyright and exclusive intellectual property
        of it's creators, and may not be distributed or included on any CD or
        any other type of media, unless it is provided free of charge, and
        you have permission to do so by us.

        Quake, and any textures in any of the maps or any other graphics are
        copyright and property of Id Software, Inc.

        Omen is a free add - on available to the public, and
        may *never* be sold for profit.  This is the key point - Quake add -
        ons, levels, etc, should not be sold for profit, unless, they include
        all new textures in their maps, and do not have anything that is the
        property of Id Software, Inc.  It's that simple.  If someone sells
        Omen, thereby infringing on Id's Copyrighted textures, you will not
        only be sued by Id Software, but by us as well.  So don't do it.

        Lastly, this story, concept and design are not in any way related to
        any movie, book or anything else, and any similarities are purely
        coincidental.
