In order to create a complete collection of historic DOOM versions, as released to testers at the time, id Software has allowed to place this file, the Oct 4, 1993 press-release beta version of DOOM, in the official idgames archive. This file is collected here because of the historic interest shown in it, and is not supported by id Software in ANY way. Please do NOT contact id Software about this file. If you ignore this request, you will be summarily BFG-ed :) -- Frans P. de Vries | fpv@ftp.cdrom.com | Doom/Quake archive backup maintainer
