B72Atc.Deh

This is version 0.1 of a modified Aliens-TC/Bombay72 DeHackEd patch file to
allow you to play Justin Fisher's AliensTC with Bombay72.

Instead of a Colonial Marine, you are the "crazy cat", taking revenge on
these stupid looking bugs that DARE to take your place as the bane of human
space travellers!

It mostly works, but I will have to remove the ambient marine sounds and
make other improvements in due course. This will not happen quickly as I
need to find a way of doing it that does not violate Fisher's copyright on
Aliens-TC; he does *NOT* like modified versions of it being distributed.

I feel that this is as near to a modification of Bombay72 that I can get for
these purposes without it being a hack of Aliens-TC. For this reason the
gameplay may not work *exactly* as for Aliens-TC. Out of respect for Fisher,
I have left in his anti-cheating propaganda, although I personally disagree
with it.

This version works ONLY with Ultimate DOOM, NOT DOOM2 and I haven't tested
it under non-ultimate Doom (but who still uses that anyway :-).

Be aware that unlike Bombay72 itself, this is just something I have been
doing more to see if it could be done; it is NOT supported by me at this
time and is provided "AS IS"; if it trashes your hard disk and kills your
dog, don't blame me.

Be warned that there are several "alternative" AliensTC versions out there
that have **NOT**, to the best of my knowledge, been approved by Justin
Fisher. They may not all work the same, and your milage may vary. Note also
that the Bombay72 "super feline punch" needs a DOOM1 EXE file that can
function as DOOM II even though you're playing DOOM1.

Finally, just remember: Aliens-TC is the work of Justin Fisher, which is
itself a "free derivative work" of Aliens (tm) by 20th Century Fox and Doom
of iD Software; this hack should be considered in the same way of all three,
and for other copyright info, read the Bombay72 readme file.

BTW, if anyone actually uses this, please let me know; i'd be interested to
know how it is received and how well it holds up under extensive use.
