Additional Information
----------------------
	Marathon is a very large Freespace mission (101Kb) and it is
not a cakewalk on difficulties above Medium.  For a real challenge,
set it to medium or above.  Marathon is distributed in a ZIP format
consisting of the following files:

MARATHON.FSM		The mission file
GENERIC.WAV		Radio "beep" when messages are displayed
MARATHON.TXT		This file

	Those interested in adding Marathon to their mission
archives MUST include all of these files in unaltered form in
the ZIP.

Beta Testing
------------
	Kudos go out to the following individuals who helped me
beta test Marathon.  This mission couldn't have been anywhere near
as cool without them...

- Icefire (editor at PlanetFreespace)

- Nathan "Dynamo" Hoying (editor at the Descent Chronicles, producer of
the Awakenings campaign)

- Archlich (designer of the Zeeman Incident mission and several others)

And special thanks to Xanadu for maintaining the most awesome
Freespace mission archive!
