Description             : 9 level unit made in the image of
                          Quake II to play like Quake II-----
                          I usually like to add a bunch of hype
                          here but, not this time. These 9 
                          levels are put together for fraggin.
                          Nothing special here. Just a whole
                          hella lotta fraggin. Pleanty of bad
                          stroggs to use for your target 
                          practicing pleasure.
                          I'll just let the levels speak for
                          themselves.  As usual, the my whole
                          intent in creating these, is to have
                          fun. So whata ya waitin' for? Have
                          a fraggin good time. Have some fun.
Update information      : David Shaw rattled my cage asking me
                          "how buot COOP for us home lan 
                          partiers". I said "Hmm. . .OK, party
                          hearty!". SO, for Dave and all you
                          COOP types (me included), I added 
                          COOP support to this version. 
                          otherwise the same as the original
                          release.

Make a directory under the Quake2 directory called "batf", e.g.
c:\quake2\batf. Copy the contents of batf.zip into the batf
directory. To start the game, you may execute one of the batch
files in the c:\quake2\batf directory. There is one for skill
levels easy (batfeasy.bat), normal (batfnormal.bat), and hard
(batfhard.bat). There is also a batch file to play a demo
(batfdemo.bat) if you'd like to see yours truly playing in
sewer.bsp. Alternatley, you may make a shortcut on your desktop
using the command line:

   easy skill:   "quake2 +skill 0 +set game batf +map theship"
   Normal skill: "quake2 +skill 1 +set game batf +map theship"
   Hard skill:   "quake2 +skill 2 +set game batf +map theship"

   demo:         "quake2 +set game batf +map demo1.dm2"
   demo:         "quake2 +set game batf +map demo2.dm2"
