Author:	Martin Howe (a.k.a. The Crazy Cat)
Description:	This is yet more stuff that arose during the design of The Butchery but was mostly not used for it. It is a set of BMP files containing 32x64 or 64x64 panels that cross-product various DOOM texture designs across other backgrounds in DOOM than the ones they were designed for. For example, the pipework in TEKGREN4 and METAL4 doesn't have a COMP variant, so I made one. I then split it into top and bottom sections so that several variations were possible, in particular I could have created 128 or 256-wide textures or wall patches in various combinations. The total number of combinations is HUGE, so I decided to release these only as individual parts and let people make their own as needed from them.

Anonymous	Well many of them are just periwinkle blue squares, which is too bad, but the rest are quite handy and very much worth the download.	x

Description		: This is yet more stuff that arose during the
			  design of The Butchery but was mostly not used for
			  it. It is a set of BMP files containing 32x64 or
			  64x64 panels that cross-product various DOOM
			  texture designs across other backgrounds in DOOM
			  than the ones they were designed for.

For example, the pipework in TEKGREN4 and METAL4
			  doesn't have a COMP variant, so I made one. I then

			  wall patches in various combinations.

The total number of combinations is HUGE, so I
			  decided to release these only as individual parts
			  and let people make their own as needed from them.

Important note		: The archive is only about 1.5MB, but the on-disk
			  size of the extracted files will be between 10 and 15
			  MB, depending on the file system of your computer.
			  Those graphics which are entirely filled with cyan
			  (0,255,255) are there as placeholders and can be
			  deleted; however, they are useful for making the
			  thumbnail display (in applications such as ThumbsPlus
			  and IrfanView) easier to read.
Additional Credits To	: The Usual (iD)
Reason for existence	: These were originally part of the (at time of
			  writing) unfinished WAD The Butchery, but were
			  considered useful enough to release on their own;
			  Butchery does not use them all, so downloading it
			  alone would not get you the full set.
