                     ** WARNING **

	Just so all of you know, this level pushes the limits 
of the Descent2 engine and has been known to have strange 
effects on various systems. First of all, don't even try to 
play this level in low-res as I did not include low-res 
textures. This would have made the size of the file larger 
and only satisfied a tiny group of people. Now, you can get 
it to run in low-res, but you won't see half of the 
customizations I've done. (DON'T TRY IT! IT'S NOT PRETTY!)

You'll want to be sure to have at least the following:

Windows95 (duh)
Descent2 v1.2 (so you can see the custom textures!)
P166/MMX w/o 3DFX (P133 w/3DFX)
32MB RAM
33.6Kbps modem (if you intend to play online)
etc.

  Known problems (side effects):

- Has been known (on more than one occasion) to wipe out your
.plr file! Back it up before doing anything!

- Sometimes after playing this level and entering a new level 
before restarting D2, the custom pyro/sleighs will still be visible, 
minus the custom textures. It's a good idea to restart D2 first.

- Descent2 really doesn't like it when you replace the ship inside 
the shield meter on your cockpit dash. So, what is now the Santa 
head has been known to revert back to the original pyro. No big 
deal... just kinda ruins the 'Christmas spirit'.



* That's all I can think of right now. But those are all the major 
things you'll need to be concerned about. Good luck and have fun!

Please report any major bugs, bizarre occurances, etc. caused by this 
level by e-mailing me at weingari@teleplex.net. And please remember 
that I will not be held responsible for any damage this Descent2 
add-on mission may do to your system.
