First PWAD with new music? I wonder if it's true. Either way, it's a bunch of Beatles and Queen songs.

Yes, that's right!  As far as I know this is the first PWAD with new 
      music!  I'll also give you some info on how to import your own music
      into Doom with Deu 5.1 beta.  The songs included in this PWAD are:
      Lady Madonna
      Honey Pie
      Strawberry Fields Forever
      Birthday
      Get Back
      One Vision
      Crazy Little Thing Called Love
      Dont Try So Hard
      Friends Will Be Friends
      I'm Going Slightly Mad
      Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy
      It's a Hard Life
      Headlong
      I Want To Break Free
      Inuuendo
      Killer Queen
      A Kind of Magic
      The Miracle
      You're My Best Friend
      The Invisible Man
      Radio Ga Ga
      Save Me
      The Show Must Go On
      Under Pressure
      Who Wants To Live Forever

Yes they ARE all Queen and Beatles songs and obviously a little out 
        different for Doom ;) but that's all I have.  The purpose is to show
        that a music editor is possible with simply using Deu, here's how:

The names for the songs in the WAD are D_E1M1, D_E1M2 etc.
        Firstly, you'll need MIDI2MUS if you want to convert MIDI files
        to .MUS files.  Once you have your collection of .MUS files, you're
        ready.  Load up Deu 5.1 beta (an excellent program by the way, thanks
        Raphael!) and you'll use the insert command.  Let's say you're first
        mission is to be playing the song `Birthday' and the file name is
        `Birthday.mus'.  Type the following:
        I BIRTHDAY.MUS D_E1M1
        It will save it to a seperate .WAD file with the music info.
        Do this for however many missions you want to then you can use
        the group command to make a PWAD such as this one.
        That's all there is to it!  If you didn't understand what I just
        said you can leave me mail and I'll try to explain further, but you
        shouldn't have too many troubles.
        This PWAD has new music for every level except the secret levels. (I
        forgot and didn't have enough .MID files anyway)  The Queen sound
        files sound like crap on my Soundblaster Pro but that's not the
        fault of Doom, they always sound like that.  I don't know much
        about MIDI btu I think someone once told me that the files were
        saved with a different drum track or on a different port or something.
        (I do NOT have a MIDI kit) If anybody could help me out with that 
        I'd appreciate it!  The Beatles songs sound fine on my SBPro hwoever
        as do a few of the Queen songs.  
                To use this PWAD you do the same as with map pwads, just type
        DOOM -FILE MUSIC.WAD

Phew!  I think that's it, so if you have any comments, suggestions
        or can help me out with those Queen .MID files I'd appreciate it!
        Maybe now people can write their own songs to fit the mood of their
        PWADS and include them with them.
