assistant: Hello!  You wrote this previously:
        You ought to pick up the Atomic Edition of Duke Nukem 3D.  That has
the Plutonium Pak+.  That's what I use right now.  In fact, on my BBS I have
two file areas dedicated to Duke Nukem (one for maps, one for other
Duke-related files) and I'll be adding a third (Atomic Edition maps).  I also
picked up the Total Meltdown CD for about $10.  This has 500 new levels,
rated from best to so-so and divided into categories (Dukematch, Single,
Coop, Hybrid, Experimental).  It also has a whole MESS of new graphics for
building medieval castles realistically.  I have imported those graphics into
my higher .ART files (TILES014, 015, 016, and so on).  The CD also includes a
utility which will change the Duke aliens into the imps from Doom.  This I
don't use for one reason: If I wanted to play Doom, I'd play Doom, not Duke.
        Anyway, check out the Atomic Edition if you find it (it's all I see
anymore in my area) and check out my BBS for some new maps (ph# and node#
below).
