  the name of your favourite exe. 

- The MALESE Files. In detail:
  + This 'readme' - text
  + The program File 'MALESE.EXE' and a support file 'vbrun300.dll'.
  + 20 WAD-Files named '*_N.wad'(The '*' stands for the name
    of each masterlevel-wad). These files contain the level 
    name graphic used in the statscreen that shows up, when 
    (if...) you finished a level.
  + 20 DEH-Files named '*.DEH' (The '*' stands for the name
    of each masterlevel-wad). These files contain the 
    level name strings used in the automap (TAB-key).

HOW DO I START?
---------------

Simply copy all mentioned files into one folder 
and start 'MALESE.EXE.' There you are.


F.A.Q.
------
    
Q: Why?
A: Because I wanted. Of course there are 1000 other ways to play the 
   masterlevels, but I wanted a comfortable solution. 

Q: I've read 'vbrun300.dll'. But...did you dare to use VB 3.0? In 2008?
A: Yes, it is VB 3.0. It is a quite well matured development enviroment,
   that does not need to be updates every other day. (Another reason 
   is that - frankly speaking- 'MALESE' is a very quick shot that was 
   done in maybe 2 hours and good old VB3.0 was the only thing lying 
   around here, so in a funny mood I gave it a try...)

Q: Can I give feedback or get help?
A: Of course. Please use 'doomgater AT unseretollepage DOT de'
